Suborbit – welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, glad to have you here. It is helpful if you post a link to the Staff Report that you have commented on. We have many Staff Reports, hundreds, and the link allows us to be all on the same page.

I have edited your post to add the link, which Duck Duck so thoughtfully provided a few posts later.
