I'll try to abide by your new set of rules and use a + - switch
to identify velocity direction. I should still get the same
answer though.

You will if you stick with just one of your equations,
the changed sign inherent in using the standard
convention means you don't need to swap between c+v
and c-v.

I've updated the web page accordingly.

While I was there, I made another attempt at finding the words
to better describe how Mercury's apparent loss of orbit momentum
is conserved when it finally comes to rest in a stable orbit that
counteracts the influence from the universe. It's impossible to
justify any energy transfer between Mercury and the mass of the
surrounding universe. It must be accounted for locally.

The fact that the Pioneer anomaly exists demands that the
question be resolved, one way or another, and a dedicated mission
seems to be the only way to do that. Such a mission can tell us
**much** about the universe, and is absolutely vital to the
progress of physics.

Afterall, truth is the ultimate goal, whatever the cost. So why
waste time and money chasing rainbows if that experiment has the
potential to turn physics upside down? It needs to be resolved
before we go searching for dark matter, surely?
