    Again - a combination or a dual analytical APPROACH such as NAA
    coupled with microstructure analyses may prove most interesting with
    these counterfeit groups or the analyses within these new die linked
    families which are currently being created. Again - the Northover
    article can be used as a stepping stone ... this would even save
    time and aspirin when you decide to substantiate your beliefs with
    that other notion that similar die linked groups have similar
    central punch designs. Please .... let's get out of this RUT!
