Maybe something like: t = (12 - T) This is only valid in winter, of course. In summer, t and T have a positive correlation. John. Cunning! will come back on this after I have come up with something better, if I can't then I am happy to go along with you.I must confess that my post was made somewhat tongue in cheek. However in principle it ought to be possible to try to find a correlation between the number of posts made to the newsgroup during each week and the mean temperature for that week. Of course, there will be other factors, such as the prospect for the following week. Also a cold but dry week is likely to see fewer postings than a slightly less cold but snowy one. (Perhaps the Eden snow index would be something else to try to find a correlation with.)-- John Hall "I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else."Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-84)
