Besides the 'going downhill' hypothesis, does anybody have any legitimate
insights into why the SOBO completion rate would be so much better than the
NOBO ?  Might it be that hiking independently ~ as opposed to hiking with a
herd ~ generates a more focused approach to the hike and a more job like
mind set ?  Just curious.

And while I'm asking questions, completely off topic, do any of you computer
skilled individuals have any idea why the list of incoming Emails I get in
Outlook Express has suddenly started to omit the subject line from 75% or
more of the postings I receive - on list and off ??  Not the email itself,
just in the list of mail that has come in so I can't screen it for content.
