Hi Liz,it is not a matter of "Diane is indeed on a self-induced pedestal" or anyone elses. This could not be for a thesis, it is based on data that even an eigth grader would not use. I hope he is not planning to turn this in. His peramiters are so far off (using to web sites,one board each,time constrant,etc and etc...)that the idea that this is for his masters is a joke. Using that logic,his post reflects an unturth. Invalidating anything he said. I hope you understand my point. It is not if certain ones are predictors or not,but this guys post is a very misleading and I would say an out and out lie. That is my prediction,he made the thesis thing up. Dona
