No sweat, GfS. I do support what you say when you're right.

But the big question I have is just how deep IS that well? I've heard several reports from people in authority who all agree that the sea floor at that point is a mile down. But they can't seem to agree on the depth from there. I've heard everything from "1,300 feet" to "13,000 feet" to "30,000 feet" to "a total of three miles" (from surface to bottom of drill hole) to "seven miles."

And all of these figures come from persons who claim to be in the know.

So—?

Since I haven't put on my scuba gear, swum down, and measured it personally, I'm waiting to hear something definitive.
