Walt ......... no hard feelings at all. There was no malice, and
hopefully none implied, in my previous comment about the road show being
a well organized made for television event. I guess the little ol' lady
was exceptionally fortunate to discover her good fortune courtesy of the
road show but then again what better excitement to capture the
audience's attention than a potential 2500000% return on your
investment. I bet the lady leapt up and smothered the show's host with
big kisses!
