OK, Richard --
Here's the table I told you I'd send you. Please note that these are only ships actually in commission and in reserve; it says nothing about ships under construction. I have those numbers worked out in equal detail, but I'm not going to share them, even in Snerkers Only. As I told you on the phone, I want this posted in Snerkers, because I think it's pretty obvious that it's going to contain information that people who don't like snerks or snippets aren't going to want to have waved in front of them. I suppose it's inevitable that eventually, as seems to happen a bit too often, something that was originally intended solely for Snerkers is going to get out into one of the other conferences, not because anyone intentionally breaks the rules but because of sloppy quotes and snipping, so decided the best way to keep the damage to a minimum is to play my cards a little closer to the vest.
