? Hi Marcus and friends: I have had many such instances and I have been ignoring. It was the last para that suggested me to close discussion and press *delete button* that I thought, there were not many to realise the difficulties *through which I had undergone *that I suggested, some one took upon himself and WORKED the 'mathematical difficulties' that may lie ahead and work the PERCENTIME proposal for its application to make it a viable proposal for WORLD BODY. However, I am not for winning or losing any battle. But, WINNERS do not quit, and nor QUITTERS win *ever*. I have done what I could and am willing to do if there is a 'worth' thought, for me to ponder over the QUESTION all over 'once again'. Regards, Brij Bhushan Vij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
