The sooner we as an industry can move on from what may have been cutting edge over a century ago in 1872, to shift our focus to what is possible in this century, the better. I get rather tired of hearing about the past, when we should be critically interested in the future. Thankfully, there are some on this list who are prepared to seek new answers. Its a pleasure to read some of the contributions.
