Just a quick note to say thanks for the comments/discussion. Mall, I appreciate your expression of the insights you have about "backside motives", and those of Caradoc regarding the regs(along with my appreciation of his original posting). I hope you will forward your comments to Tim at the e-mail address given. I'll be away for the weekend, and pressed for time next week, so I won't be acting on these issues. Best wishes to those fortunate enough to be headed to Keeneland. They'll be having more fun than I will. raz
