You had me at "torrent."

Seriously, I am still not buying this as the motivating factor, but you are starting to turn me a little bit that it might make a slight difference.

the best answer to your question is this: are we trying to save btr and new orleans, or are we trying to save krotz springs?

if your answer is the former, my scenario makes total sense. if you buy the latter, no answer makes sense.
