Iceberg, thanks for looking up the 'meaning' of the word. It is so ambiguous that I won't use it. GM

Iceberg, <off topic RE: secular vs. cyclical> "'secular' is an utterly stupid word to describe 'long term'. Why not just say long-term, specify how long, and be done with it? The chief reason why "secular" sticks around is because it is only 7 letters long and has a certain similarily to the sound of the word "cyclical". I would have used the words "long term trend" and "short term trend" but I figured I was between Sylla and Charibdis [spelling alert]. <G> SC
