Triff, it's not you I'm hanging, I just hate the way dividends are reported by some companies. Every time an announcement is made, I have to double check the knuckleheads. ... Ha! MLP's are the worst for the way they report their distribution increases. They raise it 1.4% per quarter and report it with the higher year over year increase. They make it look bigger than it is. I send Percy off to get a few cold ones to celebrate, and then I find out it's the lower number. We knock the pints own anyway!
