If you can't do it, well, you can't do it. No problem to me. :-)
Catalyst:
One that precipitates a process or event, especially without being
involved in or changed by the consequences.
Based on previous postings, you don't suspect that this fellow is a
catalyst, do you ? :-)
Not even close, Leo I accomplished nothing by my question. I'm cold
fusion, friend!
My mistake, Mike - for a minute there, I thought that you might be
trying to start something up, then step back and watch the fun.....
Good to hear that you ain't that type! :-)
We're *all* that type here Leo!
Actually, my point was that if we're going to bust Jim's chops about
what appeared to be an error on his part, *we* should be able to back up
that chop busting with some good hard data. I could work the problem out
eventually, but I'm a dilettante at best in such matters.
Dear dilly Mike,
What's your beef about "busting chops?" You opening a meat market?
[specializing in ham stakes for ham burghers?]
Hello? Newsflash: Rev. Jim MADE AN ERROR IN MATH. Nothing
major. He no work for NASA, not IN space. Not life critical.
Was simple matter to reach up for Almanac, go to page with basic
planetary data, find minimum and maximum distances Earth to Mars,
then use calculator to divide that by approximate speed of light. NOT
a tuff thing at all. Simple.
He got corrected. Correction corroborated. Where's the beef?
[do you know the basic cuts for chops?]
Is this some kind of IMAGE thing with you PCTA? You all have to
be "right" even when you are wrong?!?!?
You want Flame War over trivia? Go fight with Alex Trebek on
Jeopardy and against Ken Jennings.
Or work hard on your morsemanship, be a "real" ham!
Recreate the past, do it again, and again, and again until you get
it right!
