The solution is simple, you know, Mark. Why not just write up your own alternate S26, redesigning Pod 6 the way you think it should work, and then publish your proposal for consideration here? After all, Larry's track record is clear: he's never once allowed someone's reputation or status (even his own!) to deter him from replacing an existing design with someone else's superior one. So, as you feel you have a better alternative, why not document it and put it before the community for consideration and assessment? If it is indeed better, I have no doubt we will happily steal it. Even if only parts of your proposal are better, your technological distinctiveness is sure to be assimilated. ;-) Damian
