No, we're pointing out that the supplied info is readily available for
less and a FREE call to a broker will do the rest.

Feel free to pay $96 for that service.  In doing so, you're really not
much different than someone who pays list for a car.  There's nothing
immoral about that, although it does place the whole "look how clever
I was" in perspective.  (2% + 200 on a $15k car, plus $96 for CB;
that's almost $600.)
