David -- thanks again. Another random question-- Any way for a user to archive his/her bills? For instance, once your bill is paid, to move it to a "folder" of sorts on your home computer, in the event you ever need to refer to it? I asked Pete this question last year, and he kind of shrugged it off as something that wasn't really a necessity. He may be right, but I don't thing Joe-consumer is gonna be quick to transition off of paper without having that fuzzy feeling that if a year from now the IRS questions his allocating of 20% of his ATT bill to "home office expenses," that the bill can be retrieved and printed without any hassles... Just a random thought... rk

Dear Shorts: I was just noticing the volume today, or lack thereof, and wondering where you are going to find shares and at what price you intended to begin to cover what could turn out to be one of the biggest losing trades ever. I shorted CKFR once and did quite well. Those who assume the similar circumstances of earnings reductions that caused the prior debacles do not have the same set of facts in place at this time. CKFR was an almost entirely unknown entity last year when it dropped precipitously to the single digits. Such is not the case at this time as admittedly, the projects with the portals that are currently being put in place should have been done months ago. If not for the concerns with then existing clients, the banks, who perceived the entry of the portals as competitive in nature, CKFR would have acted sooner. This basis of client understanding and not wanting to "upset the apple cart" suggests a management team that is in tune with its customer base and is able to ameliorate difficulties.
