Originally posted by sigma: I've never heard the term "Indirectly Proportionate" ever used. And, if I did see it, I would simply assume it meant "not directly proportionate", which does not mean "inversely proportionate", and if they meant inverse, they would have used it.
Thanks Sigma. Davo must have ignored this part of your post.
