That could be stated as "horizontally ALONG the track", couldn't it?
If you were walking a train track, and a locomotive appeared around the bend, bearing down on your position, do you think "I should move ALONG the track" or "I should move OFF OF the track"?
(Although I can think of a few situations where moving ALONG the track would be warranted, at least for a little while...but I digress
)
What I'm really more interested in is: Did either of these methods work, or are we going to get to have another "crazy handles" discussion? Probably not, but you never know...
