If the University of PA study I posted late last night doesn't do this to your satisfaction, then I don't know what to say. I do think it would take regression analysis and though I have limped through one or two a while back it would take more time and resources than I personally have available to do a complete model. I'll check the other thread to see what if anything you have to say about it.
I have to admit though, I am getting tired of the topic and I suspect everyone else is too.
