N3RR has suggested that I make it clear that what I was referring to about 
Phillytran was non-permanent stretchiness (short of the elastic limit).  He 
(and perhaps others) interpreted my original message to mean that Philly 
could become permanently elongated under normal loads.  For those who want 
more detail, K7NV's web site has (or at least had) a very informative 
comparison of the differences among steel, Phillystran, and Polygon guy rod.
