Ward is hunting far out, trying to expand the strewnfield into the
mountains, as it surely must go.

Hello Howard, All,
You are absolutely correct. We newbies should not ask knowledgeable veterans
such basic questions. We must do the legwork ourselves but never reveal how we
do it to achieve our goals if someone asks. Speaking for myself I would like to

Howard,
Your comment is moronic. This group is as much about posting information to
assist newbies as anything else. You should know better.

Dear List,

The problem is that Tunguska type blasts have been occuring recently (for the
