I personally enjoy >helping others along - kinda like a good deed for the day thing. Not only that, but I have found _I_have_learned_more_by_helping_others. Sometimes I will see a question that I don't know the answer to instantly, but think I can work out. In which case, both asker and answerer benefit. I am relatively new to Mma, but there are things I use it for (graphics, time series work) that others are less familiar with, so I have a comparative advantage in some areas while others are stronger in mathematical/physics applications. We can all learn from each other. Rgds, Luci -------------- Luci Ellis: elisha at dot.net.au http://www.dot.net.au/~elisha
