Excellent Analyis ! Someone should keep this so that when all the gripers start griping they can be referred to it, then maybe the horse can stop being whipped. I just paid $650 to join a swim pool for a year for lap swim 3 or 4 times a week. Multiply that by 10 years, and add for inflation I am looking to spend maybe $8,000, just to go swimming a few times a week. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo!
