Sula, perhaps a black hole needed plugging as you suggest, still, its no excuse to give away that much for 10 million. I'd be willing to wager theres probably a few on this agoracom board that could swing a loan that size....and that without giving away the farm! As long as we get a prompt and honest response from the executive, we might be able to put this to rest. Otherwise, it'll haunt us like the 45 ghouls that crept up to my front door this evening....and left my chocolate bar collection sadly lacking! regards
