As I said, Maurice may be the only person (besides me) who knows he lost, which is why he's so pissed off. -vbg- Ask yourself, if he won, would he be so mad? I think not. > CB, if you polled readers, I think you'd find you'd win the 'whose mad?' stakes, using the 'angry' meaning of 'mad' rather than the, well, wacky one, which I might just carry off. Once again, as many times before, you attribute something to me which isn't true, then use that to prove your case. "Hey, look how pissed off he is" [using your normal vulgar language] "that shows he was wrong!" Since I don't think I "lost", that only leaves you who thinks you "won" if your theory is correct. Hahah! I just realized, that's yet another attribution to me which is not true [that I think you "won"]. This is actually important and on topic because your thinking is the very thinking which is causing the worldwide financial fun we are seeing. It's metaphysical certitude. You can probably turn the whole world around by showing that you can see that the real world doesn't match your concept of reality [you'll have to go through cognitive dissonance which will mean getting past denial - often uncomfortable but can be fun with a good attitude; sort of liberating]. By accepting orbital mechanics and Globalstar's failure mode, you will perhaps act like the Zenit crash in reverse. You will instantly act as the catalyst for a worldwide financial revival, recognition that the world is NOT ending tomorrow and that life is fun. You will give hope that the metaphysical certitude of those who are fearful is no more realistic than those who were irrationally exuberant. By the way, I came up with a cool orbital mechanics idea! I should patent it. Mq
