Actually, I forget whether SuStel or I noticed this first, but I
know we were immediate allies to this cause, fighting off waves
of resistance until we convinced everyone else that we had it
right. I think that it was my idea and SuStel whipped out some
really convincing examples from canon; the jokes. I'm open for
more accurate memories, but I do think I deserve at least
mention for this particular breakthrough, which I happily share
with SuStel in any case. I like to think we did it as allies.
How do YOU remember it, SuStel?
