[HBR] HBR-16 Sighting

[john]

My guess is that part of the high survival rate is

1) People spent a lot of time building these things, therefore there was a 
strong emotional attachment.

--and--

2) THEY WORKED!

(I HATE staring at project I never got to work...usually if I give up, it's 
out the door it goes!)
