"If you do not provide this information by 4:00 p.m. today, we will issue subpoenas and seek, if necessary, to enforce compliance in court." I love the semi-even-handed, almost ruthless efficacy the Americans can manifest when enough is enough. Ask the Japanese if they thought trading Hiroshima and Nagasaki for Pearl Harbour was a good deal. (I know, it is more complicated than that, but you know what I mean.) Regards, An Old Friend Hi Gerald,
