We shall term this the "McNicoll effect", for while being entirely
within the bounds of the law, was being a complete ass and mucking it up
for the rest of us.

Which, of course, means that he wasn't a danger at all and how dare you
question his piloting ability based on his obviously legal performance
(sub-quote, you ugly tit).

Sorry, can't resist.

It sounds as though everyone else had the forethought to do the right
thing, however I am concerned about the progression of the patterns.
Shouldn't it be just about Global Hawk-sized by now, if indeed it kept
on the same decay curve?

Excellent. Well done.

Actually, I think you are really on to something here. This newly
coined phenomenon could explain much about what happens in the air --
and on the ground.

In fact, this "McNicoll Effect" just might explain everything that is
wrong with our society -- and even the world! There is so much of
this sort of thing going on -- often completely unexplained -- that
some sort of a blanket explanation was just begging to be discovered.
And you did it!

Dang, Gnu, you may have just tipped the sociological and political
world on its ear today -- good show!

Outstanding work by both of you, particularly the Gnu. I have witnessed the
McNicoll Effect in this forum frequently. I was able to quickly identify the
root cause, but never came up with an appropriate name for it. Or at least
one that was suitable for a public forum.
