Hi Guys,

Yes, this three ring pissing circus should have ended a while ago.

At the risk of throwing gasoline on this particular hot stove, I ran some of
this by my friends at BBH. I'm awaiting their response. I toiled in the
belly of the financial services beast for a while myself (Scudder, State
Street, DST, BFDS), and I've got a few veteran pals over there. It will be
interesting to hear what they have to say. Do you want to hear it?

BBH btw may be "small" but they quietly carry a big stick. And they are
really stacked in the research area. Cutting edge. AI and all that shit. I
doubt that anyone will want to go on record with a response to any of the
Bush/Nazi/Harriman insinuations but if they would like to comment, I will
happily forward it to all ya'll - offlist if that is preferable in order to
avoid slowing down the SL discussion or boring people who are done with this
particular thread.

Congratulations Tampa Bay.

Peace
Joe
