If it helps, I'm trying to be pretty conservative in the insight I offer.  Hey -
it could be worse.  I could have written a book on the subject like this guy
did.  Now he probably knows and understands exactly what he's doing, but there
are errors left and right.  I followed the derivation, then plotted the
equations.  Then plotted them again.  And again.  Then derived it myself and
figured out that, indeed, he had a blatant sign error (one of many
errors/typos).  Perhaps I should have waited for the second edition.  Anyway,
didn't your mom tell you not to trust newsgroup physics debates?
