What I want to know is...how do they determine that this register is
weaker? For crying out loud, for a good 150 years, it was NONEXISTANT,
and for the most part today, still is. How is something that isn't,
'weaker' - seriously?

As I say to my wife, when she is particularly confused by one of my
statements, "What, you expected LOGIC?"

These blurbs in the product catalogs say nothing and mean nothing.

My favorite is in the new WW&BW catalog, for the new Leblanc Millenium:

Verbatim: "Insert text here here here here here here here here here here here
here here here here here
here here here here here here"

In fact this product description was SO GOOD, so ENLIGHTENING....they used it
for several other products.

Check it out.....
