Bill,

Reminds me of the greatest (produced most sales) direct marketing
headline of all time(dates back to the 40's, 50's, and 60's).  It was
for an at-home course in learning to play the piano:  "They laughed when
I sat down to play the piano!"

HTMMIS? I say, let 'em laugh! 

(And if anyone asks you what CANSLIM is, tell them it's a new diet you
found on the Internet!)

Duke

Let me add, I found out about canslim by picking up a book with the
cheesy title," How To Make Money In Stocks" while browsing the
bookstore. To this day, everyone I show it to laughs at the title. (g)
