Nah, just don't like to take credit for the work of others. I am responsible for the posts I wrote. For example, someone rightly pointed out that I over-generalized concerning the breath of people that were dismayed by the recent market performance. The writer of "the Black Swan" and his camp are probably not dismayed, but are feeling vindicated. I take responsibility for writing a statement that didn't take them into account. So, I take responsibility for writing my posts, as well as embracing scholarship and scientific technique. But, I do not take responsibility for inventing either. :-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
