Doug,

I prefer an in-depth analysis rather than a short, concise story. There are
usually a number of different options that can be tried with possibly
different options. It would be nice to read about them.

When things go sour, it is usually not one thing, but a combination that
provides all of the drama and/or tragedy. Our responses should also be a
combination of things and IMHO, they should get spelled out.

Just my 2 cents-----oops, I guess that should now be a quarter based on the
strength of the US dollar.
