RE:RE:Is SAM pump just a re-done-dent piece of capital equipment?Thanks MM. You never fail to entertain while you educate. Yes, let's hope the end is nigh and we don't have to wait for another curtain call before we can leave the theatre.

If I may be permitted to extend your metaphor to it's dramatic conclusion.... I've scene this all play out before. Everyone likes a good tragedy as long as it is interspersed with moments of comedy. To understand the inner workings of this play (tentatively titled Les Miserables 2?) what you really need is a backstage pass. Perhaps a conversation with the Stage Director and main Actors (characters?). Be careful though, as I've heard you're a looker, and some men in power in the entertainment industry have been known to display their short comings - so to speak. Likely not an issue on this set. They seem to have a sound crew... you just don't hear a lot of dialogue from them. They prefer to operate on a deliberately low volume I'm guessing. The lighting is bad at times. Parts of the stage are darkened. Some of the characters are over-acting, whilst others fumble their lies. At times all this makes it difficult to understand what's going on especially from the back row. If you go close-up to the stage, you might find that the back-drops and imagery are not as they seem - at least from the vantage point of the cheap seats at the back of the theatre. As for me, despite the plays many short-comings, I have been entertained, and will await the epilogue and final bows. Times up! We're in the final Act. We will see if the critics give this a good review and, classify it as either a Comedy or a Tragedy. Who knows, with a good review maybe this particular production will find it's way from off-off-off Broadway to center stage at the Tony(B) awards. MM
