I don’t know why I’m so stuck on this, but I just spend 3 hours collecting data and adding it up, so I post here again.

I *hate* how Excel adds it’s own tags when you paste into Front Page and makes it impossible to do otherwise, but I’m to tired to argue and I’m running out of light. I thinking throwing in men on base situations would make only a marginal difference, but you can’t take these numbers as gospel till I do. And I probably need to figure out a PERL script to read other pages and collate data before I try this again.
