As none of the above have a monopoly position on any generic class
of product or service, ought not to be a a prodblem. Let the
Marktetplace Provide, sez I (though admittedly, not very often,
and only when it suits me). Just enough of the market share to
dumb down the whole area by weight of numbers and "No-one ever got
fired..." syndrome.

Worry not, I wasn't suggesting thermonuclear strikes against
Seattle and other strategic targets. Well, not as a means of _first_
resort.

And so's Jorvik, too. Lots of places in Ireland were founded by
the Vikings, actually, as a truly spectacular multi-media display
in Cork Museum demostrates. (You press a button, and a little bulb
lights up next to each.)

Why would you want to _suppress_ it, though? Or is this a buildings
safety drill, for when a Sambucca Snorters(*) party gets out of hand, and
one of the participants becomes a mini-Fireberg? I hate it when that
happens.

(*) Or in a Lunar context, perhaps Gin Gulpers.

Skol!
Alex.
