To Andrew (and others).

I am all smiles as I admit to being one of "the purveyors of 
vapourware".  I am glad that I can count on friendly and constructive 
comments from the experts on the Stoves list as I (we) attempt to develop 
an "actual stove" that is powered by gasification (AKA vapourware).

Note that I am NOT sending this message to the people on the Gasification 
list serve mainly because the "chit chat" that we seem to enjoy with Stoves 
is not evident in my short time on the Gasification list.   But if Andrew's 
and my comments leak out to them, perhaps they will be further motivated to 
help develop "actual stoves" that utilize gasification.  (I have 4 
self-identified "gasifier people" who are not on Stoves list but have 
indicated "small stove" interest.  They are getting a copy.)

I will not ask for a definition of an "actual stove" but simply think of it 
as being a useful stove that is sustainable (not donor subsidized) for many 
people (at least 10,000) who are among the financially poor of this world.
