no - you can`t guess anything - you quote a text from a specified
source, so your "guesses" disconsider this source.
it`s easy - or you give info AS IS, or you don`t publish it at all -
you have no right to _change_ this information, otherwise you have no
right to quote B & R as the source - it`s NOT written _there_ :-\

i repeat - in my copy of the book it`s written in black and white -
"LONGER than 100m", not the 100m.
but you, guys, can`t read in the original, he he :-D

_if_ you doubt this info - why have you published it at your site? if
you have no doubt - why you had wrote it (above)?
nonsense :-)))

i know nothing about this journal & i`m not planning to find out
anything, as for the article - see my reply to Boris.

i had no time to ask all this by phone, and i guess he had no time to
recall all the details of that events - it happened 17 years ago. i`ll
ask about it during our private meeting.

you may try - here is Alexander`s telephone number & e-mail:
