Hi Dennis & all

It is refreshing to see some work being done in this direction...

I like the logic that Dennis has used in interpretation of the results, but
I fear that the 'sample size' is not large enough to validate the results or
conclusions, so how about a few more of you 'having a go' at some similar
work ?

Apart from anything else it is likely to be good fun !
