OT: Thanks, Steve. That is exactly my point. It troubles me that, during my lifetime, commercially-directed invasion of privacy has become routine; that new "protections" are legislated with no more basis than glib tongues. Like the bulk of my compatriots, I lived my life in the belief that our government functions for our best interests. As a result of my failure to understand what was happening, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people." has turned into "Government of the people, by the government, for the corporations." You may justly say that I've enjoyed a wonderful life as an American citizen ... and you would be right. That's just one of the reasons why the loss of our individual rights and the rape of our trusting public by everything from drug companies to stock brokers to accountants is so painful to me. Steve, I appreciate your comment. However, I fear that I should never have inserted my 2-cents worth on this board. This board is for a discussion of the trading aspects of the Q's. Which, at the moment, seem a bit bleak. Fred
