Gee, aerohaed. When I posted this exact article to EM in 2008 because I thought people might like to read about new trends in automotive edge design you thought it was useless, deceptive, poorly written and had absolutely nothing new in it (you so kindly informed me that there is nothing new in aerodynamics because it has been fully understood since 1800). It was my first original post to EM and you skewered me for being so naive to think it might be of interest.

Nice to know that you
now think the article was a "game changer" and "moves the whole issue of aerodynamic drag further into the light." Although I won't go that far, I'm glad to know that I was right and the article was interesting after all.
