John,
 
Have read both your's and Don's emails concerning 
this topic.  I think Don has made a number of valuable points regarding the 
need to understand the system you are thinking of applying and not just taking 
someone''s formulae and applying them blindly.
 
On the other hand I know it is probably much easier 
for people with a programming or extensive spreadsheet experience to understand 
how AFL works. 
 
Perhaps a middle ground might be for new 
(and not so new) users to explain what they want out of a formula ( eg.. I 
have been trying to develop a formula which identifies when the closing price of 
a stock increases relative to an index for xxx days in a row etc).   
This might elicit responses from others who have built similar formulae and/or 
those who see some challenge or usefulness in the request.  
 
Perhaps done this way it becomes not an instant 
answer but a learning tool, and not just for those who make the requests.  
I, for one, learn a lot just from reading requests for assistance (regardless of 
whether I can personally assist).
 
regards
Richard 
 
(BTW - I am not aware of any merit to the 
example quoted above)

Don, thank youfor the 
response. You make some excellent points. I have been studying chartsand 
reading books to learn more about building a system. The area I'm most 
uncomfortable with is writing the code to show the indicators and signals, 
this is where I think viewing other routines would be of benefit.
