Re: Transit times between L4 and Moon

Pity you snipped the context. Fortunately I happen to know that if
Androcles has put something in quotation marks then he is quoting
someone else.

The context is the thread, if your NG reader doesn't have the whole thread you need to change your settings or something, apparently. Next time someone whines or bitches about "quoting the whole thread" I'll point them to you...

You yourself said
Timothy Partee: "they would arrive at a theoretical point perpendicular
to Earth's orbital trajectory at the precise same time. "

Given the context that they were not trying to reach the moon but the linear path from the Sun to Earth, yes.

That is correct, although long-winded.
To put it succinctly: you contradict yourself. Only an idiot does that.
Please think before you troll.

Appearances can be deceiving. The only reason I could have appeared to contradict myself is due to giving multiple if-then-else scenarios due to the parameters of the "problem" not being clearly enough defined to come to a full answer to the initial question posted that started the thread. Ironically it now appears that the sole point of that initial question was to troll the NG to get people with half a brain to argue over something so stupid and benign. So congratulations for feeding the troll further. Idiot.
