You can't really be serious can you?
You title a thread like that and then say with a straight face that you had nothing negative in mind?
Now please, I didn't grow up in a house with a lot of lead paint.
Hey, Mike ...

... good to see a response ... I was getting worried about you.

As far as the thread title ... it's called metaphor. I used "twilight" in both its literal sense ... the name of the experiment ... and its figurative sense ... a symbol of impending decline.

If it failed ... it may not have been "Twilight For Saratoga" ... but it surely would have been "twilight" for the experiment. But it didn't ... and I alliteratively deemed it a "significant success."

So ... you see ...it wasn't negativity ... it was creativity.

Gee ... us poets ain't never given the appreciation we deserve.



By the way ... that "lead paint" line was a very clever figure of speech on your part.
