   I'm wondering if this is relevant to the distant observer.  What does   
   A see looking back at said distant observer?  Does A see the observer's   
   time passing more quickly than his?   
      
   Suppose A reverses direction just before he reaches the event horizon   
   and meets up with the observer.  Won't A be younger and the observer   
   be older?   
      
   OTOH, if A continues on and reaches the event horizon, he will pass   
   on through in no time at all, but won't an infinite amount of time   
   have passed for the observer?
