Good idea about calibration. And Larry is right. What about starting 
with standardizing filtration techniques, maybe someone who uses the 
data could tell us what we are doing right or wrong by critiquing posted 
data and maybe getting individuals to post vertical, and horizontal data 
together for comparison.
