"Same old same old .. we've heard it all before, over and over. " Yes, well... There was a point during the flight of Apollo 13 which Jim Lovell described in his book "Lost Moon" and which was dramatized in the movie "Apollo 13" where his crewmates begin to argue pointlessly. My recollection on this is a bit vague, but as I recall, Lovell steps in as commander and points out that when they're done arguing and bouncing off the walls, they're gonna be right back where they started and still literally "in the same boat". We are all in the same boat. Stop bouncing off the walls. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
