Well, there's the cost. The amount spent on the last failed trip to 
Bouvet was obscene, when RIB had a far greater chance of success, at far 
less cost. As long as folks want to pay their own way to do the roughing 
it thing, more power to them. But don't go begging when it can be done 
well at far lower cost. Most of us have more important ways to spend our 
savings.
