hey Peter -- thanks! really interesting stuff... There is a lot to respond to in your fascinating attached spreadsheet, , and I'm heading off for the weekend so a full and deep response will probably have to wait till next week. But I'm quite impressed with how far you've proceeded in this direction, at very least in terms of defining a meaningful series of tasks etc.
