    All I can say at this point, is what the fuck is going on here?! Norman, your words in your latest post are just nonsense --form without meaning. And yes, you made a nice quadratic graph, but so what?! You are dancing through the forms and styles of a conversation about sextant sights and corrections, but I don't see any evidence that you're understanding any of it. Nor do you seem to be learning anything from anyone else here. Can you offer any explanation for the peculiar nature of your posts? Are you playing a game?? Are you asking an A.I. chatbot to produce your posts? Are you actually trying to see how long you can post nonsensical messages before getting called out on it? If so... you have your answer...
