Lynn, Please understand that I wasn't addressing your desire to have questions answered before having read the manual. I'll be the last person to suggest that others shouldn't be helpful as we are prone to be. It's just that I question how helpful an answer might be if it's given before you've read the manual. My fear is that it might accidentally be counter-productive to your investment goals should your understanding of the answer be taken out of the proper context. If you or ayone thinks I'm blowing that possibility out of proportion, understand an example that became evident to me just today. I was contacted in a PM by a person who has read both the original and revised manuals. Yet s/he understandably got confused, incorrectly equating my reference to a "royalty play" with a company that receives royalty payments from its customers. It's very, very easy for any of us to send the right message to the uninitiated, only to have it interpreted to mean something entirely different than intended. Just my opinion. --Mike Buckley
