    "Alec, What is something you don't need on an SS?"

    That's correct Bill for the Double Bonus

    Waaaaawhooooooo!

    The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
    an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    it's rare I get one they don't!

    No, more like "the French word for a rear shifter on a bicycle" Ans "what is a derailleur"

    Jeopardy format, remember?

    No, SS'ers know what a derailleur is. But their definition - "That thing I DON'T have on MY bike"
    possibly wouldn't be good enough.
