It's easy, Ram - one just waits around for it to get ahead of itself, which it inevitably does, because it's the nature of the beast. In the process, one finds oneself behind it.
The Doppler shift is useful in telling where one stands (the volume of shrill indignation increases as the gripe closes on one, is identical to one's own as it draws even, and then declines as it leaves one behind). cheers, Divya
