thanks Socrates; I was hoping for your input here

thanks also for the explanation as to how it works at FS vs SS/ES properties; that was interesting as i never knew that

I see that generic corp rate often which seemed to be a catch all that anyone can use > would that be correct (as opposed to Sp Corp)

so when you see a Special Corp rate pop up on your screen; do you see and lets use IBM since that is the example above.. do you see SP CORP = IBM or do you just see SP CORP period.

thanks
