SOLUTION/SUGGESTION:

>From a teacher: ( Maths and Comp. Methods for Engineers )

Make a questionary, maybe even in multi choice (a,b,c,d), having the main
topics which are desired or necessary to a
person participate in the new list... those who get more than 80 %, f.ex.,
will be accepted!!!!

Intelligently Democratical, isn't it ????

Gomes.

PS: The members will be directly accepted ( but would be very interesting to
see the results of some of them... :::))))
