Thanks for everyone's feedback. Much appreciated. At the same time it would have been interesting to hear feedback from the person/s who "dunked" me, mostly out of curiousity sake than anything other reason. Oh well, it's all water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned lol.

Edgy - Yes I've noticed your absence lately and missed your posts as well. Thanks for the nomination but I must decline due to work committments that rob me of time I would rather spend contributing the odd rant here and pursuing my passion for all things economic in general. Rather the honour of a rapid promotion belongs to more dedicated posters that drop by and contribute more often to this great forum. Maybe we could take a rapid poll if people are interested or just wait for your inevitable return from those other diversions!
