Yep, I am sure I would be cut off like the time I got in on Larry King and tried to corner Joey-Bag-o-Donuts and Abby Jo Cohen on why none of the professional anal-cysts were able to see the down turn in tech coming when us amatuers were able to see it in the 10Qs of just about every one of them showing the true numbers in the footnotes and one time write offs that repeated every quarter and kept getting larger. Not sure if I will use my real name when I call in or not. I imagine they will be screening for me by now. Not that much of this matters. I just rented a U-haul to go get a few hundred bucks worth of wood and supplies and am headed for LOWES. I am entertaining the thought of going to the HD parking lot after I am done at LOW, pulling up front and calling the manager out to show him the sale his store missed because of the Boise district. -ggggggggg- I figure I will have this 14' truck about full and sitting on the relief springs when I am done shopping. - NG - FWIW - I am starting to feel a bit better. I am in the process of making sure most of the base here of 10,000 people know not to do business there and most of them are civilians with nice expensive houses that will have many projects over time. Maybe you are right about newspaper costs. Maybe I should just shoot for a smaller one each week or month. Palmdale one week, Lancaster the next, and work my way up to the LA Times hoping to get a reporter to look into it. In my amatuer attempts, I have located plenty of pissed off customers and I am sure a more thorough reporter could find plenty more. There might be a real scoop hiding in there they might bite on. I could always hope so at least and then pray that the WSJ or someone picks up on it and does my work for free. I doubt it though. What makes me the most mad is that I wasnt short for this last leg down this week. I would have liked to send the corporate office copies of my trade verifications again. -ggggg- Good Luck, Lee
