Having a bad day Kell?

 Good or bad, and I'm not judging which it is, automobiles have been a
success from the standpoint of sales and marketing - the benchmark of
commercial success, which is what an inventor would most likely be
concerned with. I don't why you would think that I consider pedestrians
to be "pesky" as I am often one myself or how you would know how fat my
ass is (would you like a photo?) but beauty is, as you say, in the eyes
of the beholder.  While I don't eat at McDonalds, it too is a commercial
success. McDonalds biggest growth area - as well as the automobile's for
that matter - is in countries OTHER than the USA.  This trend shows that
the ROW seems to want to emulate the USA.  BTW, I have a number of UK
friends, all of whom fall into two categories;  the ones who have
emmigrated to the US and the ones that want to.

One has to wonder why anyone, other than a Usenet Troll, who is so
adamantly opposed to an automation product concept like a robot would be
lurking in an automation newsgroup.
