Andrea, I appreciate your concern. The incident on which the work is based is fictional. Thanks for your email visit and words of praise Howard

Congrats on your win! Has happened to me. An entire scientific paper disappeared after hours of work due to computer problem! Pluto, Newton’s dog burnt his calculus work by upsetting the candle on to it! “Oh Pluto! Though know not what though has done!!”

Hi Silent One, I wish to thank you sincerely for assessing my submission and your generous first place award. This I will always cherish. The event itself is entirely fictional. Thanks again Howard
