Will someone help out with a clarification?   From
 my limited understanding of SR, in a strictly inertial
 frame of reference -- ie no acceleration -- two
 observers in motion relative to one another will
 each observe the other's clock to be running
 slower than their own.

Under what conditions will one
observe another's clock to be running faster?
