Well now I AM lost ... how can an orbit be wildly elliptical and still be an orbit of more than one or three passes?

LOL, sorry, it's an inside joke.

A poster has claimed that the planets are in wildly elliptical orbits, and we find it rather amusing, needless to say, he does NOT.

This is from a long ago argument that a rather well known poster tried to convince allof us that the planets circling our sun were "wildly elliptical".
