Hi Sawdusty, I was trying to comply and respect your very specific request. I have worked with your type before, every colour change, every underline and bolding just shouts look at me. The longer the post, the more you get to exclaim it. Not for me pal, and *I would appreciate no further contact from you.* This will be the third time I have had to remove the subjectmark. Message 31247916 Saw, I have had an extraordinarily busy past few weeks. What happened in Houston had widespread ramifications for several hundred of my friends and people I have know for in some cases 40 years..... and My parents have friends they have know since 1970, in Houston, My family and I have significant physical tangible assets in The greater Houston area and there was a significant amount of stress associated as to whether or not they had sustained flood damage, etc. I can say that the hard work, 80 - 100 hour work weeks in some cases and assets and treasure built up over a my and my brother lifetime, my parents who both worked extremely hard and we moved all around the world, to advance my father's career with Exxon - Mobil. My mother was a senior systems develop for Houston Natural Gas and was fortunate enough to leave because of an overseas assign just as HNG merged with the other company to become Enron. She has a bunch of friends who stayed on at Enron and keeps in touch with people who spent their careers at Enron, only to have there retirement and benefits wiped out due to the Financial wheeling and dealing, deceit, off balance sheet lying and cheating that Andy Fastow, Skilling and Ken Lay were conjuring up. My Dad spent over 30 years with Exxon after starting work for Grumman aerospace when he was 22 and went to night school at CW Post and got an MBA with a 3.75 GPA ........ he was one of a team of several thousand electrical engineers that built the Apollo 11 landing model that took Neil Armstrong and company to the moon. I also have friends and business partners who sustained significant losses of cars, flooded properties, businesses that had sustained damage.. and so to an extent I have been in a little state of mind that it's kill or be killed metaphorically speaking. Very much like a Texas no hold 'em poker game where one person walks away with the whole pot... and everyone else walks away with nothing. The global financial markets are subject to people losing tremendous amounts of money and these hurricanes and other risks such as North Korea are very real. We also have physical asset , real estate and other exposure in Florida which is directly in the path of Irma. I am not done with my response to you and will continue from my work post..... Fintas, is absolutely correct in what he wrote and and I learned from school and college to underline and highlight in different colors techniques to understand and remember complex information that I am learning and want to remember.. I will explain that in detail...... I need to get out of where I am and get moving at the moment. John my best regards,
