Pardon my last post. I'll just saddle my dinosaur and ride off quietly into the sunset on this one. :) (Is it any wonder that I seek assistance when it comes to automating paper-and-pencil methods?)

This isn't some book from some math whiz or stats PHD.....so although it DOES concern itself with statistics, it isn't a book about statistics....then again, I'm barely halfway through....
