I was being provocative, just as your OP was.  Like I said, nobody
requires you to use Mailing Lists.

The wheel has been around for well over two thousand years.  Perhaps we
should get rid of that, too.

Um, any search results for that are likely to be spelling mistakes ... I
think the word you're after is 'hover' :-)

That's a vacuum cleaner. 

Of course, those new-fangled digital Dysons, when set to blow, can
probably blast you off to Io.

BTW I take issue with the two thousand year figure for the invention of
the wheel. I'm reading: "4500–3300 BCE: Copper Age, invention of the
potter's wheel; earliest wooden wheels (disks with a hole for the axle);
earliest wheeled vehicles, domestication of the horse" over at
Wikipedia.

He did say "well over," people will point out, but there's the unwritten
rule that the quantity attributed to a "well over" cannot be superior to
the original, base quantity the expression would have us augment by some
unspecified amount. IOW, if I say, "It took me well over a month," that
cannot rightly mean it took me two and half months. Maybe it would mean
five weeks or something. To tell the truth I don't know what the hell it
would mean.

But that's hover and well over five thousand.

Out.

I knew I wanted a number much greater than 2000, but wasn't sure how
much farther I should go.  TBH, I couldn't be arsed to look it up,
because it made no difference to my (ever-so) sarcastic point.

Linguistic accuracy was waaaay down my list of priorities.   :-)

My brain tends to go presidential.. except here where the "Hoover"
mention was part of an international exchange. A nearly 100-year-old
US presidential reference would be far less likely on a list like
this. :)

I've priced hoverboards on occasion so I know of them, but that
*woooshed* over my head as a possible intended reference, most likely
k/t a lack of coffee. :)

Hoover the Mover... and it apparently _is_ about cars. I'm done. :)
