loquat, I expect no mercy, don't need it actually. But thanks for (not) caring. :) I'll be fine--it'll be interesting if indeed there's someone 'better' at this than you. I'll make sure to wear my steel toed boots.
I do plan on reading your expose' though. I'm sure it'll be preaching to the choir in my case, but I am looking forward to seeing your approach and information. I'm sure it'll be much more scientifical than mine.
And Blue Nun--after my loadmaster days with the Ramstien, Germany turns where we always brought A-6 bags full of cases of amazing German wines, (spatlese was my favorite) and cheap--3-4 dollars a bottle---I got way too spoiled to drink Blue Nun. The Germans consider it like Boon's Farm, bottom of the barrel. After a great spatlese, it kinda is. I stopped drinking wine once I stopped flying. I just couldn't bring myself to pay 15-20 dollars for what was a only a 4 dollar bottle of wine in Germany. :(
