BTW, do you have a web site? If so, why no link in this post? http://scm-lp.com yields: & www.scm-lp.com goes to a NetworkSolutions generic page.


Some interesting Google results --

Until I found a NYSE governance link, I was having Enron flashbacks. You ought to look at why your Google results profile makes it look as if your business is hiring people, rather that actually managing money.
