It occurs to me that, as a community, we should be thanking Larry.  Many
times over the years debate has raged over these eternal questions:

"How reliable is a Vanagon?  Is the Wasserboxer an engine I can count on
to take me long distances without breaking down?"

Thanks to Larry's tireless efforts running the experiment and testing the
hypothesis, we now know for certain that the answers to these questions
are "Not very" and "Heck no."  Think of all the time we'll save, not
having to endlessly discuss these issues in the future! ;)

With tongue firmly in cheek,
