John. No matter how good the match between the equations in modeling reality, these equations are really static models of dynamic happenings. The fluctuation of variable values in the real world will cause perturbations in the EDDIE point. Some would be relative minor and others not so. There are two different approaches (that occur to me at the moment) that can be taken to stabilize (or control) the situation - one is to somehow adjust that timing, as you mention (my favorite), the other is to stabilize the values of some of the more significant variables. Either will work (perhaps a combination of both would be best) , but which is easiest, cheapest, and best varies with the variable (I like that "varies with the variable"- somewhat profound don't you think {:>)). Sorry, havn't had my second cup of coffee, yet. I can see now, I'm going to have to terminate this discussion - or You will divulge my entire presentation and the money on the slides will be down the drain, I won't get any free beer, and, Heck, even all those tomatoes would go to waste. Actually, it really great to see the similarity of your train of thought with mine. It's either a case of two minds thinking alike - or two nut cases with the same delusions {:>) Ed.
