Andrew,

Your message was lost for a few weeks.  I'm sorry, but, I find continuous
contracts rather worthless.  The subject came up in conversation last night.
I have always felt that the only way to trade or run historical analysis is
with the lead contract.  I don't even build continuous contracts.

Take  care,
