I was going to let this go by uncorrected, but now that it's
come up again...

I said nothing of the sort.  I think Steve made a reasonable inference
from Lucio's original reply.  I don't remember exactly what I said in
the private message, but it had nothing to do with Bell Labs.  It was
more ``I'm skeptical, but doing something is better than sitting and
complaining.  Let's try it.''
