That woud be closer to mag. -9 than mag. 9 palsing: No, definitely not mag -9, read this... Mr. Eklöf didn't say -9 he said closer to -9. But it wouldn't matter if he had said -300 because he was writing hyperbolically, not literally. You're not one of those people who, if someone says "It's raining cats and dogs," looks out the window and says "No it's not! That's just ordinary water," are you? -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

Upon my initial reading, I mis-understood his comment... he was actually talking about the Iridium satellite, which certainly WOULD be closer to mag -9 than to mag 9... \Paul A |

Mr. Eklöf didn't say -9 he said closer to -9. well, is -9 the same as - 9, or - 9 ... is -9 = -9 ? or, is -9 = .0000000585657595855658 on you scale of numbnuts? How about accorns? |
