That has always been the cos style, forever, and it has kept them and now handal in good sted but what about us, I've never and I mean never made a penny for my two decades with edig. I felt we had a little more strenght of late and could just possibly could mix it up a little and thought that the situation was changing, pray to GOD, it is. This is a point in edig's future that is vital, for shareholders, and the old one time fees that has kept the lites on and monthly pays rolling in for the BOD only, is over. The wording of the last settlement has me delirious with the possibilities that fter 20 years this could be it, for us. g/l,g/h & G/B.....john
