pw1340, I agree with you that one sometimes sees what one wants to see in any set of information. The analogy to the papers is again apt. You have to be careful, I agree.
I had seen that information about "shared windfinding" on the BOM site, but did not know what it meant in practical terms. Now we all know, so thanks.
Even if we trust only the official data (which isn't perfect and always sounds a little doom-and-gloom anyway), it's better to be able to get a more current version of it than to trust what you printed off at the hotel six hours ago (by voice radio or some kind of datalink, of course).
