Not funny? Of course it isn't funny. I was answering a question. Not every word I say is required to be humorous.

He's funnier unintentionally then when he tries. And he's fat!

As far as I can tell, your questions have been addressed. If some angle has not been approached to your satisfaction, why not reintroduce it? Threads begin to wander when the general perception is that their purpose has been fulfilled.

OK, here's 2 questions.

1) What is a squad in navy terms when referring to ships (the answers so far are not entirely clear).

2) How many ships could Weyoun 7 have referred to when he ordered Damar to send a whole battalion after Odo and Weyoun 6?

I think that once I have answers to those, I'll give everyone a breather until the next round in a few weeks or two.
