[Geysers] Mastiff Function Giant?

[Karen Webb]

For Paul:
LOL!!!

For Steve:
OMG do not denigrate your skills or the quality of the image!! This is 
stunning and glorious and we all sat with our mouths hanging open 
watching it. OK, drooling. Makes me wish gazers had a saying for geysers 
they've either never seen or missed for extended periods, similar to 
"Next year in Jerusalem" (said at Passover as a Jewish tradition).

One question: With a Mastiff Function, is there not much going on in the 
platform vents at the time Mastiff takes off? Do you get sort of a 
normal hot period, and this starts as the platform vents die down or do 
Feather and friends just not start?
