Don,

1. You are WAY above the "Limberger" thing.

2. jpk misread the evidence that Amos was pointing out -- that there is a difference in density between the water of freshwater ice that floats in salt water, such that when fresh water ice melts into salt water, it does actually raise the water level even though freshwater ice melting into freshwater would not.

Though I believe that jpk ignored the salient (had to slip a salty word into the freshwater discussion *BG*) point of Amos' post, they were both, in fact, discussing the melt limited to floating ice. They were not discussing the ice that sits on land.
