The absolute limit on posts, for software reasons, is about 26,000

Oh. Well, that explains it. I thought it was 64,000.

I've got a lot of "sneaks" and "mines" lying around the place. :)

"So how many folks would survive in the water off of California for a couple of days without a wetsuit?"

I'm supposing that in California or Massachusetts (in the summer, that is), survival time would be measured in hours, not days. I think in summer one might tolerate the water temperature for many days in the South Florida ocean.

In the incident I mentioned, the 2 younger guys (which included the pilot) did OK, 2 of the older folks died, and one guy around 60 needed his blood removed and warmed at Jackson, but got through it, barely.

If so, let's stay here! Pleaaaaaaassseee???

LOL There is no real reason to change if we are only a third of the way to the limit. But the TT would be a good time, imo.

But I will go along with the will of the council.

I thought the absolute limit is 65000 posts, not 26.

Maybe I am wrong, but better check with someone who knows for sure within the next week, unless someone can check back to the place here where the definitive number was stated. Clearly we could go on through the release of TTT if your numbe is correct, which is why I doubt it. Perhaps you can get the answer, and we can make at least a tentative decision.

Awwww!!! I MISSED it! I knew I was going to, but I couldn't see bowing out of my meeting just for the precious...

"Oh, boss? I can't attend this meeting. I have to grab the quadruple-naught, okay? It is...precious to me."

Well, personally, I can't wait to get my C Meg! You said it was bigger, right? How big, do you know off the top of your head? My B cane whistle is 14" long and 3/4 of an inch thick!

LOL! Can't you just see Gandalf's eyes looking up in sudden realization? I love that scene. I'm taking the boys back to the library, then I'm going to watch the movie this afternoon.

Those are the ones that are supposedly similar to the Sweetones but less expensive, right? (I've been poking around over at chiffandfipple.com). Here's a picture of a D and C Meg together:

Yes...the Sweetone has the mouthpiece designed by Copeland. I ordered these two Meg whistles yesterday for $10.55 including shipping!

The C is bigger, but not as big as my cane B. I sometimes feel like I play my cane whistle better because I'm not so squinched up. But then, sometimes I feel like it's too big.

When I get all my whistles together, I'll post a picture of them.

Argh! I didn't bring it to work with me but I'd say 13 to 14 inches...call it 13 1/2? The holes are bigger and it tapers. A C should be smaller that a B, I think.

A C is as low as I go. I have to stretch to reach that last hole.
