Off-topic-ish: I keep letting be all those nasty typos. I should stop
rereading my messages once they are posted. *sigh* I am relieved that folks
in this group accept them and don't complain too much.

I guess you could rob the words "Free" and "Market" from that unjustified
capitalisation. *smile* I also would encourage adding scare quotes to
market. More than ever before (well, I'm still young), it seems like
corruption and self-interest drive and give motive those those elected by
us. There has to be a better way...
Best wishes,
Roy
