Scott, my recollection is that it is not uncommon for the posting to diverge from the initial subject somewhat over the course of fifty or more posts.

If your observation of my divergence is intended as criticism, and the board population or moderator also objects to this expansion in the scope of acceptable comments, I will make an effort to limit my response to the acceptable restrictions.

It is my feeling that the other thread (which you characterized as a semantic disagreement) was not off the original topic. However, in this thread there clearly has been substantial development of the subject.

And I no doubt am a bit biased here, but I think the exploration of new statistical analysis approaches is a subject of potential interest to some; although not directly related to the thread title.
