Mark,
It might help if you were a bit more articulate on this list, and not
indulge in cryptic mumbling, sourced straight from the dawn of the written
word. I can understand my two year old grandchild's scribbling easier than
I can understand anything you post. Marketing 101 dictates that your target
market understands what you are pitching, that the message gets through
clearly and that means using complete sentences.

Cheers
Jayanand
