    I hope your wife is as good natured as she is beautiful.

    A clever man deserves both:)
    Yes, well anyway. Are you going to ask Asheron 'the question' or not? There is a gathering of worried men now, wondering where this is going and is it anything to do with them. The braver among them may attempt to stick up for Asheron, which would be a misjudgement.

    Oh dear god, I can't stop laughing.

    I wasn't going to ask Asheron anything complicated.

    I had phrased my question to perfection in my head so he could only answer one way without looking a tw at. Either way I won.

    Haven't you ironing to do?

    I am glad you are laughing. Doesn't always work, the humour distraction technique.

    It would be interesting to see the question, becuase we could study it and try to work out (with the help of PM's) how a mere male should answer the snare or trap.

    As for ironing. Never on a Monday. That would be the road to ruin.

    Your wife is a lucky woman.

    Exponential growth of anything within the constraints of our physical universe is not achievable, a paradox if you like, the US are screwed and if you're under 60 and expect to live to the national average age, you're going to see it play out. It's going to be carnage.

    Anything that grows as a percentage, is exponential growth.

    When the item is under control of governments, e.g. money, exponential growth is very much achievable.

    Are we back to Logan's run again?

    I would never say it, or type it on here. Neither would she.

    But seriously, can you imagine, the petty nit picking pedantic word play over pointless inconsequentialities 24 / 7. Poor woman. She's a saint.

    I adored Logans Run.

    But expontential growth becomes, well it becomes exhausted

    Then what?
