Superb exposé of a little known problem Dominique. Thank you.

It most sadly isn't "it" though. The problem was known, albeit without much
real understanding - particularly of the implications - from the beginning
and electron gun assemblies were fitted with 'getters' which it was hoped
would provide a safe platform for individualised electrons to live out their
lives safely contained and away from the newly formed electrons in the cloud,
until dissipation.

Their hopes were to no avail. As e numbers grew and the techniques they used
to dissuade new young electrons from performing their duty grew more gruesome,
it was decided that the best plan would be to forget it and put up with
replacing CRTs long before their envisaged serviceable period was up.

It looks like dirt residue and it's understandable that efforts are made to
solve the problem with cleaners, but it's actually so many free electrons
bunched together that the invisible becomes almost visible.

They achieve consciousness! Engineers have been killed in the field for
simply trying to move an old CRT, by a whole army of free electrons -
days, or even weeks after the tube has been removed from a power source!

If those early scientists hadn't decided to forget it, we could have
devised ways to realign them, or contain them at least, but no. Instead
they patched it with advice for engineer safety and almost every single
one of those disturbed free radical electrons have been working together
all these years toward electoral rule. Their techniques are subtle.

They blame scientists and technicians for the early abuse in those deadly
tubes and they clump around experiments and instruments to cause unlikely
results.

The absurdity of the double slit experiment and Dark Matter/Energy is all
down to electron consciousness. Some, who prefer to keep quiet about it,
claim that by now All electrons are free, but content to act as normal until..

They will call _us_ wimps and I shudder to think about how they may avenge
the destruction, in phosphorous burning pits, of so many of their siblings.

Perhaps it is not to late. Please be kind to the many trillions of electrons
you use every day, and consider that they may not always want do what we want.

Thanks for reading and don't worry too much. :)
