Good explanation, Tim, thanks, that's more or less what I thought: yes, 
it's boring even for those who do it, but the completion of the task is 
enough reward for them to make it worth it. I can understand that, though 
I still don't want to do it :-)

That's probably an apt comparison in more ways than one. Some 
mountaineers apparently consider Everest a complete waste of time, since 
it's more about enduring pain for a long period of time than about 
skilled climbing. For others it's the ultimate challenge.

Thanks, and Pat: Good Luck!
