I apologize for a previous erroneous piece of nomenclature.
We are all given, myself included, to 'over-use' of 1/f in terminology, bec=
ause of the importance of 'pink' noise in nature.  Where I discussed the 'v=
elocity sensor' in response to Randy's question, I erroneously specified a =
1/f 'rise' in the transfer function in going from low frequencies toward th=
e characteristic frequency of the instrument.  Hopefully I wasn't consequen=
tly labeled an ' idiot'-since obviously the rise corresponds to f and not 1=
/f.  On the other side of the eigenmode frequency- the transfer function do=
es fall off as 1/f.  On the other hand, the transfer function of the VM is =
flat below the eigenmode frequency and falls off as 1/f^2 above it.
    It is important that we strive for zero defects of terminology, as well=
 as complete accuracy in the math calculations that could follow from such =
discussions.  There is too much at stake in these issues to allow sloppines=
s.
