      All right smartass. I was being lazy with the terminology. "Reconciling multiple variables across multiple workstreams and datasets while allowing for variability in each dataset and observing the likely result and allowing for target finding on occasion" is just a bit clunky.

      FWIW I've done a few rather more complex programming solutions over the years. An early and very effective real-time ACD for example, spawning specific campaign questionnaires to the operator's workstation. Building a suite of programs that analysed the feed requirements of a dairy herd to optimise milk quota production for another. Just got bored with having to learn new languages (about 8 of them and fifteen different Operating systems) and moved ton to rather more difficult challenges. Coders these days are just another resource variable afaic.
      Blog? What blog...?
