Just to clarify this, the 'Navigator's Newsletter' is NOT "one of the
... more formal forums"

It is not a peer reviewed journal as is, for example, the 'British
Journal of Navigation'.

To give an idea of how far short the 'Newsletter' falls from being a
serious forum, over recent times it has hosted an unseemly squabble
between H Zevering and G Huxtable over matters that should, perhaps,
never have been accepted as worthy of publication, and which were
eventually shown to be worthless by the 'British Journal of
Navigation'.

Incidentally, such is the strength of a forum like this one, where
pretty-well anything can be trotted out and put on display. This
NavList is a great place to float an idea, although before being
accepted as comparable with the work of Marcq St Hilaire it should
indeed, as Geoffrey has helpfully suggested, be submitted to an
appropriate peer-reviewed journal.
