On or about Sat, 15 Oct 2005 18:15:56 GMT did "Androcles" <Androcles@
MyPlace.org> dribble thusly:

>"The spectral class [of stars]  is determined by the relative positions

>'Nuff said, nobody could top that, not even Tom Roberts with his

It's a completely correct statement.  Though it does require that one
be familiar with the term "relative", understand what it means, and
grasp the rather significant effect upon meaning it has in the above
statement.

Absorption lines as a whole are *SHIFTED*, not spread out, which is a
paraphrase of what's said above.
