Not that it matters but y'all sure got me confused with all those M's. Is everybody using M's for 1,000 here or are some of the M's 1,000 and some 1,000,000. I don't suppose there's any chance we could agree to use K for 1,000 and M for 1,000,000? Alski

Thank you for the explanation. Although I, like everyone else, am familiar with Roman numerals, this usage never occurred to me. I remember seeing that notation in job ads 30 years ago. I guess if one is patient enough all mysteries will be solved.
