>Thom,

There is anything wrong with asking questions or shining light into dark corners. Especially if one is objective and does not have a hidden agenda.

I hardly think "Martin" is being objective or fair. "Martin's" CWW slight was not necessary either.

I would be the first to back "Martin" up if he had a legitimate concern, pursued it objectively and disclosed any conflict he may have. Until then, I think it is fair to ask "Martin" who self-appointed him?

PS - In the interest of disclosure, LV does send me *free* cataglogs and I recently received a cheque for $18 as a result of the price drop on the LA BU Jack.

(I hope that doesn't count for something in the securities industry. :) )

PPS - I think the LV BU Jack is an amazing plane.

>Presently a specialty contractor..(mudjacker) Far far away in another lifetime I was with El Paso LNG where we were importing the frozen liquid stuff form Algeria until they invoked Force Majour over a price dispute. (1981?) The 25 year contract actually had the quantity in BTUs to be delivered to ships rail for the duration of the contract stated as one very large number. I've seen bigger numbers, but they usually are astronomical references.

The situation with El Paso was ridiculed in the press at the time, but it could have been a lot worse, we were negotiating a much larger contract with Iran at the time (oops).

If I recall correctly (exact BTU depending upon the source of the gas) a thousand cubic feet approximates one million BTU (MM BTU).

Thanks for asking
