 JF>   Can I quote you on that?

if you feel that you must ;)  please note that "us" is a
figurative identity... i only know what i do and those that i've helped get
set up that have spoken to me about it over the years... if nothing else,
the quotes only help to refresh the mind on the conversation without having
to go threading back and forth thru the past messages... one can't go
threading back when one is writting a reply anyway ;)
