The curve is non-linear so the tipping point does not necessarily have to be at some 50% mark. Its where acceleration of growth gets rapid and uncontrollable. You could have a gradual erosion over many years with 100% change and no particular tipping point. We probably won't be able to decide when the tipping point happened until afterwards. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
