Done. Your approach kind of reminds me about how statistics is a much misunderstood field. It doesn't matter what or how you record statistics, you will always going to get rid of most of the data for the sake of having a general overview, and nothing keeps you from misinterpreting the results you get. That *still* doesn't make the tools completely useless, as it's great for grouping many data points into individual sectors. Of course it's not a simple topic, but you can't fit a one-opt-out-fits-all-opt-outs approach to the problem domain and think you're done? cheers! mar77i
