I've been reading this reflector a long time, but recently all the complaints 
about the K3 not being ready on a specific date, not having the second 
receiver, not having NIST-certified numbers for every possible specification and 
mode, etc.,  have become quite annoying. 

Then I was reminded of this story:

A little boy and his grandmother are at the beach. The little boy is playing 
in the shallow water while grandma watches from the sand.

Suddenly a rogue wave comes without warning and sweeps the little boy out to 
sea.

One of the lifeguards jumps in after the little boy and swims toward him with 
powerful strokes. The other lifeguards launch the rescue rowboat and row 
furiously after them. 

Just as the first lifeguard reaches the little boy, he disappears from view. 
Lifeguard dives and pulls him up. Shark fins are sighted heading for them, and 
the rescue rowboat arrives just in time to pull them aboard. The sharks are 
so intent that they attack the rowboat itself.

One of the lifeguards gives the little boy artificial respiration, two more 
row for shore with all their might while two more are fighting off the 
attacking sharks and bailing the now-leaking rowboat. Meanwhile an even larger rogue 
wave is seen bearing down on them. 

But the lifeguards somehow manage, through superhuman efforts, to fight off 
the sharks, resuscitate the little boy, and get to land before the second rogue 
wave hits. The lifeguards bring the little boy back to his grandmother, safe 
and sound. Then they collapse on the sand,  soaked and exhausted.

Grandma's only comment is:

"He had a hat".
