I'll follow those up - appreciated your earlier post on my Afghan question which led me to a thread that I didn't know existed.
But busy..
I've been crashing on completing a couple of chapters - including some of the data that you all have been commenting on. I'm not too worried if the thread drifts a bit when I've already...
