Message for Think Tank Readers

Due to the success of this web-page and the increased volume of requests, We find it impossible to answer all questions that come in. Rather than leave people in the dark, we are temporarily suspending answers from the think tank to allow us to get caught up with the hundreds of questions waiting for answers. Valuable questions will be added to the page if they address important topics.

Well over half of the letters we get are repeats, and time must be spent reading sometimes lengthy accounts and then simply directing people to places where their question is asked and answered somewhere else on the page or on the website. Therefore please read on, and you may find your answer already published.

Up until now, almost all questions have been answered, usually within a few days, although often with a very brief note. I hope to continue to take questions in the future, but for now thanks for all the great questions.

John Glassco and the eco-nomic.com team.
