I am sure that there are lots of ways to guage. Not sure which is best but I am sure that the smart people here will figure it out. The important thing, I think, is to let the engine make the decision dynamically. Personally I don't have a "quiet time" per se but there are random quiet periods. Something that jumps into the fray at those points would be really nicwe. -- D'Arcy J.M.
