I can do that for you Ms Janet. Just tell me how to take the post back down and then I will make that change for you and re-post it. lol But then on second thought; I would hate to get on Chris' bad side if you know what I mean. I think you may just have to grow your way back to the top part of the list. :o)

I have been informed by Chris that my figures here are wrong. I derived my plus or minus percentages by dividing the difference by the original weight instead of dividing by the OTT projected weight. I will redo the figures and re-post when I have the time. I think the results will be similar but somewhat different.
