How far in the hole 318 pistons

Mr. Rod, or do you prefer Mr. Rat? Thank you for your balanced and thoughtful reply, we will forward this to the colleagues for their perusals on the matter and expect a judgement on the matter sometime in the near future.

At this time, we request you keep doing things my way, the right way, and to my idea, because frankly that's the only way to do it; and no body can question that. i will, at request, lay forth the maths but frankly i think that there be no need for it at this time.

Much obliged,
