Interesting, Hy. Maybe Fidelity is more on the ba

As for your back and forth with rjs, I am not a fan of backdoor communication on a regular basis. And on anything important, especially business related, I always used the written form. Verbal communication is fraught with problems, usually just innocent misunderstanding, but then these interpretations are passed along to be further misunderstood. If Joe wants to have an open door policy, and I commend him for that, I think it should be via text.
So I would like to propose that someone on this board be willing to be the “official” channel to Joe. This person should have a relationship with Joe that he can trust. Questions could be sent by Private Message (PM) to the intermediary, who could then screen them for worthiness of Joe’s attention. The question(s) would be sent PM to Joe. Joe could then take the time to compose a productive response (instead of verbally “winging it”) by PM back the intermediary, and then the question and answer can made public for all the read. Keeping the questions (and possible response) would keep anyone from being embarrassed by questions/answers that are non-productive, contentious or possibly just plain stupid and a waste of time.
Anyway, just a thought.
