Big Bertha Thing publication

The statistics for Big Bertha Thing postings published
on sci.astro are as follows:-

20 No. 50K primary postings (out of 26)
2 No. 600K ditto (out of 4)
12 No. off-topic postings (out of 200)
4 No. 50K secondary postings (out of 26)
20 No. 4K ditto (out of 26)
20 No. 2K ditto (out of 26)
24 No. astronomical postings (out of 2000)

There was almost zero response to the above, which were
spread over 28 days, at the rate of two days per week.

Book-burners deleted the archive of Net Access Policy
postings prior to 2nd November 1998. Bertha saved those,
with the exception of replies and published 12.

The above were also posted to the Onenet conference
Astronomy & Space. Here days 18, 19, 20, were minimal
keep-off-the-grass days and on days 27 and 28 they
broke ranks. The on-topic filibuster of sound-bite
journalism ended, at 42 days old.

2. Without loss of generality, one can take p to be north and a positive definite metric
rather than a Lorentzian one, there is a geodesic of minimal length,
rather than a geodesic of maximum length.
This minimal geodesic will be a line of longitude running from p to q.
BUT there will be another geodesic from p to q which runs down the back up to q.
This geodesic contains a point conjugate to p at the south where all the geodesics
from p intersect. Both the geodesics from p to q are stationary under a small variation.

Erika meet Philip.
Philip meet Erika.

Philip will post your Big Bertha Victim Support postings,
to immortalise each victim in print.
No more than one per victim.
No more than one per day.
Please remember more Sesame Street, than Darth Vader.
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I
paint you?

Each will have a unique pattern name, from the following
list, prepared by my wife. You can add to it yourself, as
needed.

Would some kind person, please send a letter of thanks and
explanation of what it will be used for, to my wife.
She loves me dearly, but thinks I am a typical husband.
Waste of space, makes the room look untidy and needs
dusting round. At least it keeps me sane, healthy and
contented.
