David,
With a great deal of respect and admiration, I return to you a quote you once
sent to me:
Wrangling down that attacking Rottweiler was actually not all that hard. It
boils down to the same grips and holds we used to employ for killing lions when
I was young.
Sincerely,
Mark

Seriously? My dad did all of his Theoretical Physics stuff including the
scripts by fountain pen for probably more than 4 decades. And he is
4 years younger than Dijkstra (if you digged up the latter). He still does for
his own work, though he switched to LaTeX for scripts and articles a few
decades ago. I don't know how many bottles of ink and blotter rolls he may
have used up over the years...
