That's what I meant about how I can understand why you guys see it as a
trick question.

Meaning, that I am right:  you do see it as simply impossibile that they
might succeed.  Fair enough.  Time will tell.

Like I said, time will tell.  My concern, however, is that no matter what
happens, it will be deemed by the "usual suspects" as a failure.  What
really remains to be seen is to what extent such a conclusion will be based
on fact, vs. how much reality-twisting will be required to build that case.
My best guess is that they will achieve their goal, which is a 3-D map.  But
will not succeed in "tripling" your current maximum distance, which they
would never dream of doing, since the infamous "triple" comment was made
back when the end of the line was at 6 grand. Obviously, you gus have
already tripled your own distance.

A little bit curiosity, but mostly my usual "game" with George.  Trouble is,
I made the mistake of initiating the game at a time when I really have more
important things to do (I usually only play the game when I am bored).
Moreover, George isn't really playing much, and some of the pinch hitters
(not you) aren't following the established rules of engagement, which takes
most of the fun out of it.

Thanks for the exchange.

Aloha,
Rich
