Agreed. Their posts have whetted my appetite for the subject. In fact I'm spending more time on this now than my regular CN course homework! The good news is that working on this issue is hammering home the principles for me, so it is not wasted time. I'm working on trapping their thoughts in my study notes at http://jimthompson.net/boating/CelestialNav/CelestialNavigationNotes.htm but it will take me a while to work them all in.
