Paul -- the thanks go to you! Never have I been compared to Schlieman or called a "White dinner jacket archaeologist"! This will provide grins and chuckles for years!
Since, as I said, I do a good bit of CRM myself I am not putting down ALL CRM -- I was joking in fact-- but lets face it, a certain amount of professional prostitution does
exist. I may even have been involved..... CS
