Sigh. I have nothing to say about platforms, but I do know
something about airships. You made a point on which I thought I
could shed some light, and you respond like this.

I am well aware that the issue of the factuality or otherwise of
the Hibbard story is not of interest to you. It is, however, of
interest to me and, I suspect, to readers who have heard of it.
