Now that's an interesting thought that your humble enthusiast can make a
difference to shape the transport infrastructure of the future,


Some years ago I got an email from a transit authority in (IIRC) Canada,
asking my opinion on metro rolling stock.


I have a vague interest in sound mirrors, big concrete things built on
the south and east coast from WWI to the 1930s, before radar came
along and made them spectacularly obsolete:

I recently had an email from someone claiming to want me to bid to
supply some of this early warning technology to the Bangladesh navy.
Snag is, the ones I've see are things like 200' long concrete walls,
which were at their limits with the enemy aeroplanes of the 1930s...

While guiding in a property in the Midlands, a member of the property
staff came over and asked me to clarify and explain some features of
their property's mediaeval roof for them! I was very flattered but
their faith was a complete mystery to me.

In Clive's case, though, I'm sure it was perfectly intentional and
valid!

It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Oh yes, that was another one of the CIA's schemes to discredit Castro.

A friend of mine, when we were undergraduates together, was emailed by
some textbook authors to ask if they could use one of his essays, which
he'd posted online, in their book.

The only things i've been emailed about are the manufacture of fig liqueur
and computer simulation of zombie apocalypses, but in both cases, it was
by people with information to add to stuff i'd written.
