HJ, we're getting nailed after hours - Moody's cut MIR's debt to Ba1, same rating as Calpine even though Mirant's leverage is about half Calpine's. The stupid thing is the downgrade itself probably costs MIR more in terms of profitability and growth than any disruption to its market and business from ENE. I didn't know "guilt by association" was part of Moody's credit rating methodology. Bob

Actually, we should have the "delight-o-meter." "Subject: Ring arrived today My wife's diamond anniversary ring arrived today. I could not begin to tell you how happy she is. I think other than for cleaning and dishes the only way that ring will come off would involve amputation. She is having a great Christmas and this ring will be used when we renew our vows for our upcoming 25th anniversary. Thanks for the prompt sizing and shipping. I will mention your company if I hear anybody at work talking about jewelery. Thanks for a happy wife,"
