Close, but no cigar.

Junior can buy his own (investing in research) and immediately take it

again. And no lug-drivel-posts from Junior until it is complete.

Should be a piece of cake to an engineer and businessman of his experience.

I'll tell you what--send me your M6 and I'll get back to you with the final
