Yep, and how ever far it is, that light will take that much longer to reach us,
IF it's heading away, if it's moving sideways to our view, then it would remain
about the same, if it's comeing our way, they the light will be blueshifted and
someday long time from now we'd see it closer.

But I don't worry about it, life's to short to worry.

"In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening
towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

From what I've read, some figure that during the first few seconds of the
big
bang, the H1 expanded at a speed greater than the speed of light. Only
after it
had slowed down and it's glow (?) started that the speed of light became
the top
speed.

I'm not saying this is totaly true, but in about 3 or 4 articles that's
what
I've read. And while we may be seeing the light that left the object 12
billion
years ago, the object itself has moved, we are seeing it where it WAS, not
where
it IS.


True, we are seeing it where it was. However, if the universe is expanding,
then it has probably been moving away from us. Therefore, it's had 12
billion years to move further away than 12 billion light years.
