I didn't forget, I just don't have a means of doing so that puts a number
on it. Del explained how it's done. For my part, I have to rely on what I
can hear. Being able to generate the numbers and correlate them to
measurements would certainly be handy, but it's beyond my present capabilities.

"They" are the people on this List with ETDs that reported the observations
and posted the numbers. Perhaps they'll do so again.
