I had no expectationthat my private correspondence would be published, since copying
text from privatecorrespondence and posting it on public sites can be the basis for a
lawsuit.
My private e-mail toPaul was supposed to be funny, that is wry wit or dry humor. Very
hard to get throughin text where you can't see my tongue in my cheek. I have to be more
careful and use moreemoticons. But I would have thought that naming something a "#3
Standard Wogglebug"would be a clue that humor and engineering coexist happily at
Wiard.
The quote about 1million a year is from an accountant who did not want to even talkwith
me because Wiard ismuch too small.
And really, "bringingWogglebugs to the disadvantaged" is just so ridiculous, how can
anyone not laugh atthat. Those who are actually disadvantaged need food and shelter.
The last thing theyneed is a Wogglebug, which you can't eat or even burn as fuel.
I hope I cleared upany confusion. Happy Woggling!
