Hi! Roger,   
      
   On Sun, 30 Jun 13, you wrote to me:

   It was exactly the same as your earlier copy, 'MSGID: 1:3828/7 a4064665'.    
   Maybe DeeBwidge misplaced it?

   To my simplistic way of thinking, they left the Solar System when they   
   traversed the Oort cloud.  Anything since is just idle drooling by   
   propeller-head NASA geeks.   
      
    RN> I do recall an article about it from early December of last year.   
    RN> Would you like me to reprint it?   
      
   No thanks.  Not required, as it's here still ('Voyager 1 Tastes Interstellar   
   Space').  I have posts dating back to December 2005 herewith.

   This sounds very much like 1940s-ish SF.  (Quite similar to the hype   
   surrounding breaking the sound 'barrier'.)  Send more, over...   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
