[QUOTE=Spherical Cow;363968]I am hereby offering proof that Brian-E is not the only person that would appreciate it...[/QUOTE]

I do encourage others like yourselves interested in the topic to continue the discourse - feel free to start a "new, improved! Now 20% more!! No payments for 60 months!!!" MET2014 thread, if you like. I simply have had the [i]Schnauze voll[/i] of the folks who have nothing of substance to add, but who nonetheless feel compelled to reply to virtually every post made by others. Give me a couple years and the allergic reaction may wane ... or not ...

I may have to try to help start an MET2014, just to satisfy my addiction to trying to understand the bizarre netherworld of economics. However, since Arizona is legalizing medicinal marijuana, perhaps a prescription from a friendly doctor will also take care of the problem.

In the interim, thanks for all the links to some fascinating reading- learned a lot from all the METs over the years. And if your "allergic reaction" doesn't wane over time, consult [url]www.HealthCare.GOV[/url] for insurance plans that cover pre-existing conditions like that.
