Did anyone else notice the sly use of the acronym "BOHICA" in post #20? 
Canarsie, my compliments on your exemplary merging of extraneous threads. ^ ^
I understand that FO really stands for "Flies Often," from back in the good old DL days. @:-)
But in the real good old days, my Grandpa knew many a Flight Officer, in the RAF.

Another little known fact is that those people were called "Romans" because they roamed widely, accumulating frequent floating millarium. (A millarium is equal to 0.9927 miles, so they reached gold slightly more quickly than we do).

And remember what happened to Phidippides, who ran the original 26.2 miles (26.39 millarium) from Marathon to Athens. People should consider that before entering a contemporary marathon.
