<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Yes, I too very much want to know about this new measure. Nobody I have spoken with knows what the reference to a 'journal quality profile' means. If anybody on this List does, please can you elaborate?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>thanks,</FONT></DIV>
