Well, Jack, it isn't clear where you are lost -- with the previous post or
with my remarks re someone's complaint that the post wasn't drab.

I understand and appreciate your "waltzing to the same tune" - I don't feel
"chilled" -- Should I respond that what you say makes no sense -- that it
is not English? -- or physics? -- Some pedant _might_, but I wouldn't hold
his/her remarks any higher than the post which gave rise to this little
sidebar.

So you might understand better -- I take the previous "scenery" (I forget
the author) to mean the rest frame, but perhaps I should say what I mean by
"rest".

OTOH, if one has to explain the language, it isn't interesting any more and
we are back to drab.
