Mary, Once again, having newbies being given the assets is the same as having the old people put in the attic while the rest of the house is taken over by a bunch of new residents who don't have to pay to acquire the property.

I think my thinking is still working fine.

Also, life is generally not perfect and because I haven't explained a purely elegant solution doesn't mean we might as well just continue with the dark ages. Life is a matter of successive approximation to Nirvana.

I've explained several times, but I now give up.

The newbies are not responsible for being invited into the house and accepting the invitation. You missed the point. I would accept such an invitation and have done. Our son owns Canada on a similar basis. Thank you Canadians for your kind donation.

I'm in the bush at present, in old gold mining country, passing by civilization, briefly. This room is weird! There are, let's see, about 20 people here, clicking away, concentrating. Zero smoke, unlike the disgusting Beijing cyberroom where young hoodlums kill each other in cyberwars - here nobody seems to be playing games. About 70% female [there 90% male] but being tourists skews the sample from city life. Last night the puters were full with about 50 people in here. It reminds me of a sculpture in Holland with four carved wooden figures facing each about 10 metres off the ground in the forest where the outdoor scupture park was. Silently ommmmmming at each other [though here there is clicking and humming of fans].

The future is eerie. The gold mine past was very harsh.
