Thanks so much for your insightful comments.  I had hoped to
get some ideas from people in this group that understood the
issues since the authorities on the ground appeared to have
reversed themselves on the viability of leaving the team in
the cavern for an extended period and you have more than met
my expectations with regard to that.

Now that the decision has been made and they are now on their
way towards removing the second group of four boys from the
cave, I suppose this line of reasoning is now moot, but thanks
for responding with such valuable information.

George
