oh it is nothing - i made this reference to jostling guru knights on another
post - tilting at windmills is from Don Quixote - by Cervantes one of those
old classics that i believe i read sometime in high school or earlier - i
think there was a Broadway play "Man from La Mancha"
anyhow Don Quixote is this "knight" with his squire and he attacks this
windmill thinking that it is a giant or something attacking Dulcinea - so
tilting at windmills is sort of saying that is common usage for a futile or
useless or pointless attack or a pointless cause - or something like that :)
so anyhow that is the point of reference for my remark - whew
