I have been dying to ask Steve this same question, since I think he said in
Dayton that "you just add it all up."  My basic understanding makes me think
that 10 square feet halfway up a 100' tower is not the same as the same load
at the top of the tower.

Herr Towermeister? (don't know how to say that in Klingon.)
