It certainly is not applicable to celestial navigation, however it may have 
other modern day navigational significance.  I am not making excuses for the 
large file posting, only suggesting that the content to me was extremely 
interesting and I thought entirely appropriate for the list.  I thank the 
poster (Ifland ?) for sharing it with the list.

Is the list restricted to only celestial navigational topics?  Should the 
topics exclude modern aspects and instead focus on celestial navigation 
methods (lunars for example) that aren't taught anywhere for valid reasons.  
Personally, my interests lean more toward practical aspects of present day 
navigation.
