"My original title was perverse. However, I have never regarded myself as one to flee in the face of perversity. I chronically suffer from a pathological form of premature entitlement. When asked or required to present a paper, I usually invent a clever title and then expend much worrisome effort trying to justify it. My original title, "The Ethnohistory of Nonevents," was too clever by half - thus the revised title. André Gide remarked in one of his remarkable aphorisms from his 1899 La Prométhée mal enchaîné (translated as Prometheus Misbound, 1953) that a man writes a book not so much because he has an idea to express but to excuse himself for having had it. So with this paper."

Leonard McDermid, Hot Water Tender T42, 1999.

"From 1880 until 1914 The London Tea Exchange owned a fleet of hot water tenders. These vessels operated out of Falmouth, seeking inward-bound tea clippers. On sighting a sail, the tender would be rapidly brought to the boil and made fast alongside. Without any loss of speed, the cargo was sampled, and the results semaphored to shore signal stations for onward relay to London."
