The large-scale warps of disk galaxies remain a challenge for theorists. Recent speculations about their origins or longevity have tended to focus on the possible benefits of halos. After some remarks about modes, this review will do likewise. It will conclude that any applause even there can as yet be only scattered rather than thunderous.
