<Lawyers are people who can justify anything in tortuous gibberish> That was a joke in response to your joking comment about economists. I thought 'tortuous' was quite clever [for an alegal layman]. Not really lawyer bashing. Then, I replied to your question about why legal jargon is treated so differently from other jargon by people. I gave a fair dinkum answer as to why. On the satellite one, you need to re-read my comments again. I have never said that LEO size is nothing to do with gravity. I explained how and why LEO orbits are more unstable [identically unstable, whatever the size of the satellite - a golf ball and the space shuttle will drift alongside each other, making identical moves off station as they go around the wonky-shaped earth, approach and go away from the moon and so on] and therefore require more fuel to correct bigger than smaller satellites. Also how GEO orbits are very stable due to their constant equatorial position etc. The photovoltaic wings were a joke. I am surprised you didn't realize that and it shows how totally ignorant you must think I am. Which is quite funny. You obviously misunderstand what I think and what I've written. I raised your personal bits and pieces because you were getting personal [which you seem to do a lot]. I can do personal too. Tsk, tsk, still calling names... I'm a Drama Queen. Mq
