If that's the case, then you'd be against any archelogy. We cannot pinpoint any exact grave, nor do we pay homage particularly, when exploring the past. Without that, we'd not know of dinosaurs, the history of the Earth, etc.

What I meant, in the overall sense, was:
Comparing adventure and safety, safety should not be given second preference, especially when unsuspecting customers are involved. For example, when I was a student of Engineering about 30 years ago, they used to hold conferences on estimating the residual life of an aircraft, and the structural testing, non-destructive evaluation needed for this estimate, and hence part-replacements, repair schedules, etc. An aircraft undergoes a load spectrum from take-off to landing, and each such cycle does affect the structural integrity of the aircraft, for which periodic checks are needed. Here again, the Titan vehicle had made about 20 trips to the Titanic, and we're not sure of the structural evaluation done after each such trip. When a person goes blindly after innovation, and gives a cursory preference to safety, testing, residual life, etc. then it's a problem, and often ends in such catastrophes. I would call it foolish innovation.

100%. I'm from a family of scuba divers and (in theory) I'd love to dive the Titanic shipwreck. I've dove other shipwrecks that were mainly tourist traps (sunk on purpose at the end of the ship's life) and quite frankly... nothing gives you a healthy respect for the sea like doing a shipwreck dive.

Unfortunately not, but definitely right lines.

Unsurprising, because I had no idea how phonic would be a small boat!

Thanks to Code Project staff who posted the article in the Insider this morning, on a workaround for Outlook freezes! This Outlook issue has been driving me nuts!
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Follow a member's name to his home page - just click on it from any post.
At the top of the home page, just under the username is the at-code.
For example, your home page shows:
pkfox - Professional Profile
The at-code is @petepjksolutionscom - type that into a post (or copy'n'paste it) and CP will convert it to a link and notify the member that he's being talked about / to.

Normally 10ish, but I'm currently asleep so it may be later today.
Long day yesterday - Hospital visit for Herself and her broken arm. Got a photo of the X-ray though: nasty, nasty break.
