Thanks! Once you pointed it out I had one of those little "eureka" moments. I have read a couple of papers from ChiefDelphi on PID and how it works, but it hasn't percolated enough for me to "grok" it until your one line sentence. :-) Now its starting to make some sense.

I love this forum, you guys are great with your fast responses to those of us muddling through this stuff for the first time.
