Certainty was expressed at each step along the way and made perfect sense- until the next facts came in. Who knows whether new sets of facts one day might push mdot out again. I don't think so but if it does, neither you nor I need be embarrassed; it's a celebration of science. Otherwise the world would still be the center of the universe and bloodletting the best treatment for most diseases. ;-)

I think I've received comeuppance for some things I've done, too. Karma is a bitch, and it cuts both ways so we should all try to be considerate, especially since (with apologies to non-Christians) everybody has their own cross to carry in this life and who knows what it might be. JMHO.

Everyone is NOT equal. I have been bullied and harassed by one individual for years on a specific topic. mdot is documented, it is built in to foxpro. There is no denying this. Walter wants to force his opinion onto every one - an opinion that does not work in the wild. I am not wasting my time here anymore.

Good riddance.
