PS: Don't ask for ideas on how to use the Past-Match-Ups Program as there is
over 100 different trends you can use this program to look for and I would
have to write a 900 page manual. Some people don't use trends and some
do. Some use 1 or 2 trends and some use 10 or more. This program will let
you look for just about any trend you want to look for. Forward and ideas
on history to your books number 1 enemy Rotten Robbie Robinson.
