I'm only asking that you be a man of your word. You said ... 100 to 1 odds. Then you indicated that a 1000 to 1 odds would do to. But you're not really willing to back any of the "odds" with real money. Ok, maybe I'll get out some Monoply money. Anyway, I took you at your word andI was willing to take that bet. But obviously you wanted the argument to be about bluster and not facts and ideas whcih is more like a discussion. I'm planning on checking some of the forces out when I get to the states in a week or two and can get some small scales to work it out. You lost 50 lbs of force and there are a couple of other issues that don't bear out in my mind. So we'll see, or mostly I'll see. And now I know when you get carried away in a discussion you tend to use hyperbole. Just my take.

Go Slow
Sail Far
Stay Long

ps If there is indication of a mean spirited comment here - none is intended. I don't work that way and if memory serves me correctly; in the past when I've asked something you've provided some insightful responses.
