What you found is an issue of Cloud Chamber, which is a less regular newsletter in which David Langford puts stuff that can't go into Ansible because it's got no relevance to sf.

And DP will confirm that, while I am undoubtedly middle-aged and a bit overweight, I certainly don't have a beard or long wispy hair ;-)<br /><br />In the context of the comment you got it spot-on, I think. And I was discussing Tull with one of the stewards at the recent Stockport Beer Festival.<br /><br />And, counting them up, I reckon I have more Tull CDs than any other act (Rush being second).Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-11628919081297586182011-06-08T00:40:58.141+01:002011-06-08T00:40:58.141+01:00Touched a nerve with the Jethro Tull have I?
