I'm not a very intelligent person myself. And I do have difficulty with abstract thought. Since I find MV rather straightforward and logical, I'd have to disagree with you that MV isn't for the "common man". I'd have postulated that MV is precisely for the "common businessman". >Relational is easy to visualise - it's two-dimensional.

So the average "guy in the street" doesn't - CAN'T >- get it :-( As has been pointed out previously, provable math doesn't seem to describe reality very well. :-) Bill ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
