Relax dude I wasnt trying to flame you. It was ment to be humourous. hance the smiley face at the end.

Used to be the numbers would read something like  
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0 if planes were headed away from you

or
2.5
2.0
1.5 if they were comming at you

Simple enough to figure out all you needed to do was to be able to count forwards and backwards

then they added the  + and - symbols to show if they were headed at you or away from you. Which I found humourous

Get it now?

My apologies for the misunderstanding

Bah, as we say in  New Joisey "Don worry boudit"

Im an old hand at online BBS's I understand that messages placed in text format without the benifit of being able to see facial expression or hear tones of the voice can sometimes be easily misunderstood to read one way when they are ment another.

Not a problem
