Fair enough-- btw I'm the last one to say the TMO manages money
well, or what their motives are in raising it. I continue to have
the impression that there is not as much $$$ as they act like there
is. Maybe its because their PR is pretty unsophisticated and they
always make such a big deal out of money, that it reminds me of the
approach of a 3rd world country trying to convince everyone else
that they are a major player economically.
