It was clear what you meant before your clarification, just not relevant. You can obviously comment on publicly available information, of which there is a great deal, as I posted. Acting like you know a lot about a subject based on secret information that you can't share may score points in the consultant world, but not here, especially when you are disputing someone else's point who isn't claiming secret information. -- Erik Reuter http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
