May be the way to go. For now, still in the detail gathering stage. However, I suspect that the question additions will soon level off.

Then, flick, BAM, me and whoever else wishes to volunteer, would probably need to re-group the questions and maybe do some preliminary condensing.

A way of looking at this exercise is as an interesting pastime while waiting for the 28th but also as a fact-question gathering effort for management's benefit. Unless told in this unusual way, they may not have a balanced view of shareholder concerns.

In sum, I think this is a very worthwhile effort and is certainly time well spent.

>>>say you decide on 20 questions or 25 or even 10 i'd like to
suggest, that what ever amount of questions you decide on let each
poster have as many votes so it will become balanced out. in other
words each poster must pick an amount of questions equal too the
submitted number.<<<<<

Perhaps I was too quick in suggesting that we just mail in all the questions as an overall indicator. So, how about this. Not only should each poster pick an amount of questions equal to the submitted number, but we'll need to factor in how many actual shares each of us owns, divided by how often we post on SI, which needs to be subdivided by our age, IQ, and social security number. Add an extra quarter point for each time an SI user has actually talked to Karen by phone, and that should give each of us close to our proper respective individual voting power concerning which questions get to the top of the list.....If I've left any factors out of this formula, perhaps someone else can fill in the gaps .
