        You apparent neutrality has paid off nicely......there are some
interesting topics here. I might get a crack of Right now I am tied up with
statistically digesting the first results from the AMS Radio Survey. In
particular, the question of what are the rate stats for the sporadic
background. The problem looked simple, but its not. The assumption of a
Poisson distribution is just down right wrong...but finding the right one
is not easy..-DDM
