OT...OT I'd like to ask a hypothetical question. Let's say one person knows another person who has a friend. Let's say that friend works in a department for a major national company (Co. #1). And the friend (in the dept.) is working on a project related to another company (Co. #2). The project when completed and announced could impact the stock of Co. #2. The friend (in the dept.) tells his/her friend about the project. Who in turn tells the other person and that an announcement is forthcoming. Would posting that type of information (here or elsewhere) violate any SEC (or other) laws? Could any of the individuals involved get in any trouble? I'm asking this as a sincere question and not intended as hype in any way. Thanks in advance, marty
