No, you're not accounting for relativity. No matter how many frames of reference are "added", no object's speed will exceed "c" for *any* observers frame.
The question is not what's "allowed", the question is what total "speed" does a given observer see.
An object moving at.99c inside a.99c frame is only moving at.99c within THAT frame. From the outsider's "at rest" frame of reference, the inner object is only moving only slightly faster than its container.

Talk about underrated! Without TECO there would be no Emacs, and without Emacs, lisp wouldn't even be on that list.

No, this predates Adam and Eve by a few days... and God said "let there be light".
