TV: I am not questioning your knowledge at all, just your choice of metaphor :) "quacks like a duck..." Actually this phrase was derived to describe exactly the opposite of what you have intended to use it for... it comes from the Salem Witch trials where witches were weighed against a duck to see if they would float. If they weighed the same as a duck, then, logically, they floated and if they could float, then they were witches and condemned to death by burning at the stake. If they weighed more than a duck, they would sink. They were bound and thrown into the lake, where, if they were pure and truly not witches, they would be saved by the Grace of God, but if they still sunk, they were witches in disguise and they must have fooled the weight test by their witchcraft! My description my not be totally accurate, but close enough. For those Monty Python fans, you will recall the skit LOL... Sorry, but I just have to chuckle when ever I hear that "if it quacks like a duck" metaphor... Happy Investing.. A

AMEN Does anyone have a depth chart? It looks to me like it may get very interesting today. I can't tell which planet Paq Rat is from. I would think that he was related to EC but he makes sense the odd time.
