That accidental-paste bug strikes again. You know, the one where I
accidently click the mousewheel button while scrolling through the reply
while I'm composing it. It pastes whatever happens to be in the
clipboard at that spot. It's happened before several times, usually when
replying to your quizzes, for some reason.
I'd like to disable that button, but couldn't find a way to do it. This
is in Thunderbird running on red hat linux. If anyone knows a way to do
it, let me know.

"Calvin":

That just shows that usage is going to change between now and the
time in question (just as we know from the original "Star Trek"
and its sequels that people will finally convert to using metric
sometime around the start of the 24th century).
Perhaps this usage of "Orion" is going to originate as an informal
shortening for the long name of a particular star system that is the
first one in that constellation to be discovered to be inhabited,
for instance -- just as we now see the reporters writing "E. coli"
when they mean to refer to the few specific strains of E. coli that
make people seriously ill.
