Wow, that was some interesting reading, thanks for the compilation of links. It's interesting to realize that some of the stuff we thought to be true for so long is not always quite right and others things keep being re-proven.
Thanks

That is a lot of info and at my speed it shouldnt be much over a month and I can start forming an opinion.The problem with tests like these,and I have seen some and read a lot more,the problem is, put another team in the field with the same components and equipment and you would come up with varying results because of differences in application.Only the basics would come out the same.Most of this kind of research substanciates the old saying "figures cant lie but liars can figure".In these researches they arent lying,they just do their research slightly different than another would,thus coming up with slightly different findings.It will be intresting going through it and comparing other research with this. sam.
