I considered that, but assumed we'd get the values wrong at first and have to do a lot of tinkering before we got it right. Is there a good way to do this at query time, or do you really need to do this when loading? It would be feasible to boost at load time, but recovery times from bad decisions are longer than I was hoping for. kyle
