Mary, No wonder you were too off to go to work yesterday--here you area taking on the sacred cow, the essential article of faith of this very opinionated, articulated CD community. And you do it all in public!! No, worse than that, actually--in the home field locker room of this PD cvommujnity!!!! I hope that you're feeling better and have returned to your senses. Actually, on a more serious note, I feel very strongly both ways, and share some of the reservations you cited about the 'throw more more money' philosophy---I think that you reach a point of diminishing returns in pumping money into the effort, but who's going to say when?! And, if II can work up tje courage that you have shown, I'll post that. Marty
