Ken,
I've always found that sharing helps. First of all, explaining my
systems makes me understand them better. Also, It's amazing the number of
times I get a suggestion that really improve the system or come up with a
new wrinkle from answering questions. Finally, if the "masses" trade the
same way I do, it has to work <G>.
