The poll requesting input as to whether you want to allow pasting 
from outside sources has been open for a little more than a week now 
and to date, there are 7 mails of support to hold a formal 
poll. This is out of 887 members. I certainly recognize that many 
people sign up to a list and then forget about it so I have no 
illusion
 that 887 people are reading this forum but it seems clear 
that there is very little interest in allowing this on our list.
Hope everyone has a good week. I continue to hold CHK and now, I 
have added HP about ten days ago. Other than those two, I have only 
the small cap china stocks I have mentioned earlier plus puts on 
select financials.
