[LON-CAPA-dev] latest help question

[Scott Harrison]

Okay.  I will answer the question more briefly then with a

plus

a one-liner about the "only" potential

...

It still is fun and instructive though to give a
DARQUE twist to the world-is-ending-sky-is-falling
aspect of it though. (But uhhh that's just me.)

Regards,
Scott
