The suggestion that all electrons are the same electron is one that I can 
never decide if Feynman was serious, or was it an idea that he and the guy's 
came up one night late at the local beer tavern.  Which is to say, if he was 
sending it by e-mail would he put the winky emoticon after the suggestion or 
not?
