The President's Council of Economic Advisors is staffed by "ECONOMISTS," 
believe me, I have a colleague at Stanford who is a council member.  This 
is unlike other so-called "Economic Institutes," which are mostly staffed
by **statisticians** who are keenly apt at manipulating rudimentary data, 
as opposed to analyzing and interpreting it.

Should I write an applied paper on this, and then send it to you?  I thought
(apparently erroneously) that this was simply an opinion based on my training,
background, expertise, and, yes, analysis of the study.  Above all, I take
special pride in my professional and objective effort in analyzing said
documents.  I am not a policy maker.  And I am not on this net to waste your
time with foundationless opinions, as I have little disposable time myself.
I simply felt a need to expose the truth in an area where I happen to have
more training and knowledge than the common folk...Accordingly, this will be
the **LAST** time that I will publish on this net.  Thank you, however, for 
your attention.  


Sincerely,
