Touche! I'm exhausted today (only 3 hrs sleep last night) so yes, I probably forgot or wasn't 100% sharp when I replied. STILL, I cannot believe that we simply GAVE AWAY that money. It should have been a LOAN, not a GRANT. C'mon MM, even you can't defend us giving them all that money when they're sitting on the 2nd largest oil reserve in the world (or am I wrong about that??)???!!!? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
