Thanks for the condescending comment; yes as you intuited, I'm simply a slave to TV news (which I never watch) and utterly believe eveything they say without question because, as you guessed, I'm simply too stupid to think for myself.

And my 35 years of negotiating multi-million dollar deals never gave me any insight into, what did you call it - "posturing"? Again, thanks for the insight. Before your tip, I always thought that the initial offer made was where the other side wanted to end up.

It must be nice to be a Tom Wolfian "Master of the Universe."
