I see, thanks. But the last sentence sort of says it all, no? :P "This concludes the rant of an angry American Veteran." :) If you, or anyone else, come across anything else more substantive on this connection, I'd be curious to hear. It's something worth looking into and could very well be possible, but it would be good to see it backed up with hard data. Aiight, on another note, Tata finally completed it's take-over of Corus, and it seems to be generating a lot of excitement all over : - http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/01/business/rupee.php
