The purpose of SAS-L is to propagate matters of interest to many users. Some
may have ideas not as well developed as yours, some may be further ahead,
and some will just appreciate a broadening of their horizons. Whatever their
intention, they can read about it on SAS-L.
 
Your seeking direct responses, and then presumably developing this interest
goes against the spirit of a public discussion group.
 
If you raise an issue, then you should check SAS-L more often until you find
what you want.  Good luck with your question. I'll be interested to see the
responses.
