--OT-- Doug R., With all due respect, using an ad hominem attack is fine if the debate team judges allow it, but it's hardly a valid response to my questions, or to those of Rainmaker. This is a discussion board. If you care to bring your dog-and-pony show here, you should be big enough to handle some reasonable questions about it. I'm sorry if I can't go on blind faith that your system is 99% valid. You should know that making a claim like that invites questions. I can understand if your system is proprietary. I can understand if some of it is hard to explain. But the questions that you've been asked are not out of line, and deserve a meaningful response. Calling me a whiner for asking you to explain a few things isn't very constructive. Many of the people on this thread have been whining for months about PAIR not revealing its contracts. But here you claim to have a great TA system--one that unfortunately you can't reveal--and no one bats an eye! In fact, some even want to come to your seminars! Well, it's a free country. You can of course choose to ignore me, that's your prerogative. And you can choose to ignore the posts of others on this thread who don't feel that legitimate questions amount to whining. But the more stand-up thing would be to answer my questions. If you want, I will be happy to present charts of your system to the thread for everyone to see and evaluate. Maybe your system is what it's cracked up to be. I certainly haven't disproved anything about it, and that's not really my intent. I'll say it again, this is a discussion board. If you put out your ideas here, you should be prepared to discuss them in some detail. Personally, I'm still curious to know what a "temporal clearance of the stochastics 2,3,4" is...:0) Best of luck to you.
