Richard, You commented that I ducked yours and Anne's question. I guess that is true. It has nothing to do with an underground thread, or my telling certain people "better" information. You don't really know me, but in a sense you do. I think we have "conversed" enough so that you have a general idea of what I am about. I am very enthusiastic about Naxos. I don't try to hide that in the least. I also try to be extremely honest and ethical in everything that I do.(at least for a bond geek, right Henry)I hope that much of myself has been clear in any of our postings to each other. Back to my ducking......I have thoughts and opinions on why I gave that answer to you and everyone else on the thread. The problem is, that's exactly what they are- thoughts and opinions. As such they are largely unsubstantiated and can easily be twisted by certain individuals. I dont care to let my words be twisted and become fodder for these people. So I said nothing. Everyone that reads this thread has heard the rumors of what kinds of grades are coming out of Franklin lake. You can either believe it or not, I choose to believe. If you do believe, you can put yourself in Ledoux's shoes and readily understand why they have yet to sign off. You can choose to not believe and a wholly seperate rationale for Ledoux also becomes apparent. Believe what you will, choose your sides, come to your own conclusions, and then act in a manner that best represents who you are and what you believe in. I will say this though. If I were watching or listening to a debate, and both sides had believable and rationale stories, but one side continually was caught in lies, mistruths, and exxagerations, my mind would be made up immediately. But that's just me. I will try to answer any question as honestly and thoroughly as I can. I do reserve the right to not answer if i think those words will be twisted to spread propoganda and distortion. Respectfully, Mark
