Hi Jimmy,

This guy's out there pushing the bounds of what Man can do, and doing it
with homebuilt aircraft no less, and you're squawking about gallons of
gas. You sound like those chicken%$# NASA 'crats that told our
astronauts not to talk to Denis Tito on the ISS. What a bunch of
tight%^& jerks. It's said to me that the ultimate obstavle to Jon's
flying over the pole is not headwinds, but $#%holes.

This goes for all those fools that climb mountains, trek through
caves, or go exploring in the woods relying on a GPS with 1/2 dead batteries
to guide them along. They should all just be left to their own devices and
hopefully receive a Darwin Award for their efforts.

You should receive a "One Foot In The Grave" award for leading your life
of quiet desperation.
