Thanks for your support, inna.
you have to understand czarivey by reading his many posts on Audiogon - he is tongue-and-cheek all the time. It’s SOP for him! ;-) Even in his latest reply to your post he could not resist...
I was not offended when he said i should become a politician - i thought that was funny. i guess his mind went that way due to it being an election year here in the USA & seeing all the "good" our to-be presidents have done for us so far. Yeah, they are going to "fight" for us when they are elected into office...
in my original home-country, they make a solemn pledge to become a politician so that they can extort money - any amount, any time. Worse than the politicians are the civil (IAS) officers - many think they own the country!
i ran from that scenario only to land into the same quagmire here!! The filth of politics is universal I suppose....
