"Running out" to me infers having ZERO capacity; "running short" means
not being able to keep up with demand. That, to me, is a significant
difference. My take on the other Matt is that he means we're losing _all
our capacity_.


What I meant was running out of EXCESS capacity. I think that was pretty
clear from the context, but I realize that some people aren't able to
understand context and need things spelled out literally.



And there are people that blow context during their responses.

The context of the article/sub-thread was CAPACITY, and Mike Rappaport kept
quoting OUTPUT numbers.

There are also people who don't communicate worth a crap and expect people
to know what they meant. Wives are good for that.


Sorry, I didn't realize you were a wife.
