augie, I really think that it is fruitless to gang up on Jim. I don't know how many people post on this thread, I would guess some 100 posters at least. Thus, if a bell shape distribution applies it should be absolutely normal to have 2 super negative, some 10 mildly negative, some 66 in the lightly negative to lightly positive, 10 in the lightly positive and two in the super positive. That is the normal distribution, and I am sure that it changes to the right and to the left of center as the turnips go through good periods (like Jan/February-2001and the September 2001 period, and the most recent post 4/22 period) and bad periods (like last late November/December and the early March period). That is the nature of things and it is futile to fight it. If Jim would not serve that role, someone else would come in and make the statistics work. (g). Tagging Jim with derogatory attributes will only raise the level of acrimony unecessarily. Zeev
