Thanks GWR1. Much appreciated. I'm wondering if shortys (plural) are covering late afternoon. Maybe they have good info on votes cast so far that indicate the merger is more likely to proceed than not.

At any rate I'm pleased to participate in this forum no matter under what title it's labelled. One of the keys to my success over the past 10 years was in large part due to the novel "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon HIll, originally penned in the 1930s. One of the key steps towards success outined in his book is harvesting the power of the Master Mind. In chapter 10, Mr Hill wrote:

"The Master Mind may be defined as: "Coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose." No inidivudal may have great power without availaling himself of the Master Mind."

Thanks to everyone has has ever participated in the the ECU forum in all it's forms, and shaped it into a Master Mind extraordinaire.
