And BTW, if, as your earlier post seems to indicate, you think that the NASA folks should be working over the weekend on this... Let's just say that getting me started on that will result in a very long post or PM, at the end of reading which you'll probably be feeling rather beaten up, and I'll be almost certainly feeling pretty lousy myself for writing and sending it. Suffice it to say that working weekends--on top of your normal work week--is something to be avoided if possible.
