These questions could be due to ignorance or just the disparity of the field of signal processing. It is really why I enjoy reading comp.dsp, the disparate posts contain snippets of invaluable information. These directions that follow are in order of me not finding the answer. First, I look though my bookshelf throwing many books around the room. Next, I search Google (this has really never turned up anything that great) and sometimes it turns up some reference from a web posted grad paper or from an indexed journal. Then I go back and start following the references in the books I just tossed about. When those turn up nothing I search IEEE, next I search all the other journals, and then I decide to sleep on it. The next day, I ask people at work if they have any clue what I am getting at. Then after all that, I decide that the one paper I found a citation for, from a journal I don't have a subscription to, might hold the answer. I spend a while longer trying to find a copy of that one paper that I just can't get. Then I decide to just figure out another way around the problem. Since I'm a product engineer this solution normally works. I'll add comp.dsp to my list now. I think that the personality is what makes this place special. I would be glad to be called an IDIOT because it should be a wakeup call; especially after reading though all the back posts. If I'm asking some stupid question which I should have found or should have known easily then I'd like to know it rather than live in ignorance. Mark DeArman
