The sun cannot be directly overhead, nor "nearly" so, at longitude
39d.

Of course it can be "nearly so" (and of course I never did say it was
"directly overhead"). Even up here at latitude 48, the summer sun looks
pretty darn close to overhead.

I suppose it's dependent on your definition of "nearly", and this being
Usenet, I'm sure you'll define "nearly" to suit your purposes, not mine.
Suffice to say, I find your comment dumb and pointless. I expect pretty
much everyone else knew what I was talking about.
