Hmmm, Ferenc, maybe some words of warning for now:    (01)

In my last paragraph below I noted the further potential for data 
mining, but that is only a very minor part of what I mean by 
top-down/bottom-up processes.  Worse, perhaps, from your point of 
view, it is not where the main qualitative impact will be from the 
spread of MACK.  At risk of causing further confusion at this 
stage, I might add that I have always valued appropriateness of 
concept over any kind of merely statistical connection.    (02)

But I still eagerly look forward to the outcome your synchronizing 
processes!    (03)

Chris, I think I should try to synchronize with you as many of 
ideas
presented I share but call a different name.
Will elaborate on that soon.
Thanks a lot
Ferenc
