Another good point.

To Sean, Gabriel, Vance, Carsten, (and anyone else I may have missed who has
contributed to this thread) : I think we're all making valuable
contributions here; each putting in part of a complex puzzle defining how we
can operate more safely.  There is value and truth to what each man has
said.  We should do ALL we can do to improve safety, and I think
conversations like this one serve that goal.  Thank you all.

"Two heads are better than one."  The more we exchange information on
safety, the safer we all become.  Let's keep this thread going.  If another
way of improving safety occurs to me later on, I'll add it to this thread.
And I hope everyone will do the same.  We owe it to ourselves, and others
too.

VBR,

Pat
