thanks for your thoughts but....first, in my many years of FT participation, i have been PM'ed tidbits very rarely. very rarely. second, why couldn't a CO Lurker simply PM you and ask for your tidbit and then fix it? why does not posting it on FT keep it sacred? a CO employee could simply PM you and ask for it.
