Yes, Peter there just happens to be a rather bizarre feature embedded
into the MarketPosition function by evil Omega software engineers. What
MarketPosition does is surreptitiously examine back-copies of the Omega
List. If it finds the user has abused the List by asking questions in
order to create insertion space for unrelated commercial product
advertising (such as Ostrich Farming software, for Pete's sake), it
begins playing subtle little (non-MarketPosition) tricks until such
behavior is stopped. Ratite Farmers of the World Unite! But (please),
not on the Omega List. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, Peter but such
use of the List is strictly for the birds...you're fooling no one.

PS How far apart do you plant those damn birds, anyways???
