Clearly, the intent of the government was that the ARM should be distributed and used as widely as possible. Someone utilizing that work in its entirety with a relatively small value added does not seem to provide a good reason to limit that original intent. If the government provided 99% of the work and you provide 1%, they'd seem like the senior partner here and their interests would supercede yours. But then, law school is my next academic ambition, so I'm a long way from rendering opinions from the bench. :-) MDC -- ============================================================= Marin David Condic - Quadrus Corporation - 1.800.555.3393 1015-116 Atlantic Boulevard, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 http://www.quadruscorp.com/ m c o n d i c @ q u a d r u s c o r p . c o m Visit my web site at: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Capitalism without failure is like religion without sin." -- Allan Meltzer, Economist =============================================================
