Lindy, To be honest I never understood one of his posts, but had the courtesy never to comment on the open thread. Manners, can't be taught, must be learned. Love You Guys, <gg> Rocky Balboa

<<"Didja ever notice" that the people posting to the new thread have an anal radius of under one micron?>> How do you conduct the measurement? <ggg> All: Seems like regardless of the original objective of any thread on SI, they all eventually revert to the mean; they all become blends of the individual posts of individual posters. It's, perhaps, one of the best features of the system; (responsible) free speech at its finest. Anyone can start a new thread, anyone can read any thread, anyone can post to any thread. Period. The old Q thread was easily running hundreds of posts a day. The new thread(s) slice and dice the posts and provide a good service, IMO, by making the information (frequently in the loose sense of the word) easier to cruise, process and participate in. It's sort of like ice cream; ones preference might be maple nut but isn't it nice to also have pistachio and double nut chocolate to choose from? To each their own flavor. Foster tolerance of others. FWIW and best to all. ...Tim (Lindy - Coooool pic's linked off your profile. Looks like a blast!)

OT: I know it's not the weekend, but I've been thinking about how the on-line brokers are now launching ways for folks to use their equities to finance property, rather than seeing their customers liquidate appreciating positions. Fidelity now has two new programs, one geared for those who want to help a family member buy a home, and one for everyone else. If interested, check out: personal.fidelity.com According to Fidelity, "It may be a smart financial vehicle if you believe the earning potential in your investments outweighs your mortgage financing costs." Why sell the Q when you can pledge shares instead? Does anyone know if any on-line (Merrill not included) brokers offer something like this? Thoughts appreciated. Sommers
