Why the hell should I put in the HUNDREDS of hours necessary to learn a 
system I'll never play. I doubt I even have any agreements in many sequencs 
that get discussed here in partnerships where I have put in the hundreds of 
hours and I'd rather be buggered by Nigel than learn something that 1) I 
won't use 2) I will forget 3) is full of contradictions 4) is not natural to 
my way of thinking. Nigel you are getting totally ridiculous with your 
unending attempts to try to promulgate your totally unrealistic, unworkable 
and unwieldy idea. Your standard system will run to about 150 pages of dense 
script.  My agreements with Damian do, and they're not even complete. cheers
