(snip) Can it ever be truly equal? There is going to be some overhead in having the multiple layers, so although the sum of the rates at level N can never exceed the rate of the parent layer at N-1, the penalties must mean that it must be marginally less (even if this is so marginal as to be hard to detect). __________________________________ Yahoo!
