Any comparison with Facebook is odious.

Aerohead deliberately misinterpreted by post, by pretending that what I wrote ("As far as I am aware, there has never been a road car of any type, ever created anywhere, where aerodynamic lift was a positive.") was somehow saying that no cars had lift.

I couldn't be bothered explaining "a positive" (i.e. something good) isn't the same as "positive" (i.e. the mathematical sign opposite to negative).

So I doubt the point is worth pursuing.

I am not interested in discussing Buckminster Fuller; I've said everything I have to say on him in my aero history book.
