   Free of charge, of course...     
      
    NB> BTW, noted your discussion of the most easily seen car color.  I think   
    NB> you are wrong, despite your scientific explanation.  White can be   
    NB> surprisingly hard to see...  as can, even more surprisingly, red.  As   
    NB> an owner of a red car (more than one, actually), and from other   
    NB> experience, red, for whatever reason, can be totally ignored by the   
    NB> brain.  I once almost side-swiped a red car on the Baltimore Beltway   
    NB> that I didn't notice next to me until almost too late.  White fades   
    NB> into the roadway, especially this time of year, with salt-covered   
    NB> roads.    
      
   Notice that you mentioned that you didn't see the red color.     
      
    NB> What research has actually found is the most easily seen color, is the   
    NB> bright lime/yellow-green that you sometimes see on firetrucks.  That,   
    NB> for whatever reason, again, gets processed best by the brain, and can   
    NB> be seen in the widest variety of circumstances.   
      
   I as nothing to do with actual visibility.     
      
      
    NB> Now, were you trolling on that topic?  :)   
      
   Not in the least.     
      
      
    NB> And, no, there is no way at all that I can be persuaded to ever again   
    NB> try to post in that echo, for any reason at all....  I much* prefer my   
    NB> totally invisible status.  :)  (and no, you may not cross-post this   
    NB> there!)   
      
   You'll have to get me to sign off on that!
