@Chyros: C2 symmetry outside of Chemistry? Certainly! As you no doubt know, point groups, symmetry elements, and symmetry operations are based on group theory. Chemical structures represent just one application; there are also applications to other areas of mathematics, physics, music, cryptography, ....
One of my favorite words from inorganic chemistry is "nephelauxetic". We geeks owe so much to the Greeks!
@emdude: Looks like I was mistaken about the ability of damped cream sliders to exert their damping effect in a chimeric switch with a housing other than that from a damped cream switch. I hadn't tried this myself. I have tried putting a slider from a Matias Quiet switch into the housing for a white Alps, and the Matias Quiet slider does exert its damping effect in the chimeric switch. Hmm -- chimeric -- another word derived from the Greek!
