Things like these tend to be easy for outsiders and those who don't have to pay the consequences if unexpected things happen. So, you can ask for it and think that it is easy, but my guess is that it is not going to happen. Nothing stops you from making such a prediction yourself and submit that to your funding agency. But now you will have to pay the price when you get it wrong, which, on a smaller scale, illustrates the point I made above. -- Maarten --------------------------------- Maarten L.
