Er, that's what I was saying.

No, you said "the other guy's runway doesn't include 150 feet or so
of your own".

Er, what I wrote was:

"... why bother holding short if the other guy's runway doesn't
include 150 feet or so of your own?"

See the "why bother ... if ..." construct?

Yes, I saw it the first time. The part you still don't understand is that
the other guy's runway DOES include 150 feet or so of your own. You can't
use that portion of the runway because someone else is using it.

Hmm ... I think I *do* understand that: you land and hold short of that
150-foot portion (more specifically, short of some marked holding
point).

I guess that at least one of us needs a caffeine fix and/or a weekend
away from the 'puter. Good night.
