You already have. :) Next I'll be walking the plank... best, Wayne Oh that is good! Very good. Remind me to sail with you anytime.

back to the 'with the winds of change at your back' analogy…

Very cool to know- why is that? This a function of Conservation of momentum? "and speaking of "sailing"... riddle for later... as a navy man, i can attest that a ship's captain never sends anything but crytal clear and obvious orders and information to his followers. so, when is the one ocassion when a ship's captain will get enigmatic and show any uncertainty with his crew?" The captain shouldn't in my opinion. He should give clear orders and go down with his ship in my opinion. That is the call to duty? In what situation might that happen? When has had too much rum?? However, this is not the military, I am not the captain, no one is a follower, but people are participants and these posts are designed to get people to ponder a bit while things are done. You should not have to endure them much longer I am sure. So in that spirit- I would ask- as a navy man- "which navy did you sail under"? or do I assume all navies react and have the same rules? Thanks for the cool riddle and knowledge about winds. If we catch up at a conference I look forward to getting schooled. The rework is underway, and it is a gargantuan task. Approaching Beta orbit very soon. Hi Pat,
