Perhaps you can tell me what is CLP?  I just recently joined the list and I
must have missed the first post that told what it is.

A good point to be sure... to little friction may be a bad thing... on the
other
hand friction in some sense represents a resistance to movement....which
might
be better delt with from a leverage point of view.... at least to a greater
degree then we now take for granted..... just a thought....

nice to hear from you Isaac :)
