Hi Roger,
to be honest I have never heard of a golp either adn was rather foolishly trying to hide my technical ignorance by assuming the somewhat mediaeval sounding "tech. speak" of Daiane. Onomatapaeically I imagined that a "golp" was a blow as that is how these data are collected. I like golp, I suggest that it be ISO'd and accepted as standard.
Anyway, seriously - do people agree with me that a golp is actually additive to all intents and purposes ?
