Is this an attempt at a process of elimination? Great! those are NOT the Hogar mountains. those are NOT the Ouachita mountains.

Ok, then the question drifts to whether you should have been on a free climbing crag route in such conditions where you carried pins.

Wait, what are you talking about?

be sure to take the crampons off first though Lightweight....

Lunchtime today.

Ice tools and crampons work great in snow and ice. Skrrrt, skrrrt.

Bad boys, bad boys Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

where else would I pick up such a whiny and condescending liberal attitude? Obviously, Iain must be speaking of someone else.

Argentina #18? You've got to be kidding. Their economy is in the toilet.

He's whinney enough to be French.... Zut Alors!

Friend of trask?

This paragraph has my favorite line... "They were rednecks, not stupid."

Geez, I'm getting skunked on this one. Maybe if I had spelled 'wimpy' right....

Um...yeah, total force is bigger, total point loading is not bigger... I guess that would depend what it was clipped to.

Neutrinos make great nose rings.

I could definitely "use an extra 50 or 100 grand". I've has an attorney send a cease&desist letter, and recieved a terse response. It's litigate, not negotiate. But litigation is a complicated decision, and what's right, or wrong, isn't the only contributing factor. The parent corporation of the offending company has annual revenues of $50 billion. Bringing a lawsuit could cost me $200,000, or more. What's the risk/benefit ratio? As my father told me, life is hard. Sending you a terse response is cheap for them. Big companies ignore patents and trademarks regularly when they know the intimidation factor is high or the cost of settling out of court is a small fraction of their profits. Take a cut of their money.

More importantly, today marked the three-year anniversary of the high-water mark for the Nasdaq Composite, when it peaked at 5,132.52 during the day and closed at a record 5,048.62 on March 10, 2000. The tech-driven index has plunged more than 70 percent since then and celebrated the day by declining 26.92 points, or 2.1 percent, to 1,278.37.
