 Thank you very, very much, Annie! I will try this. I think this is about the only thing I would change about this particular program. Otherwise, I really like it a lot.
Again, I really do appreciate your help.

To Annie K
You are obviously well educated, and your posts are well written. The fact of the matter is, though, that we feel U. S. work should be kept in the good old USA. Your cheap labor rates and availability are driving wages down for us. We are making less than we did 10 years ago!
Kind of makes it hard to want to work "harmoniously" with you, doesn't it? Just looking at it from our point of view.

Annie K-I take issue with your comments...sm
No where did I even imply that I thought that "the rest of the world is Third World and incapable of producing work of a high standard". In point of fact what I said was " American MT's are being forced to compete with those who are happy,excited, willing to give up their professional careers as physicians, dentists, professors, etc. to make $5000 a year." Again, please note that I said "professional careers". I said nothing about third world or poor quality work. I said that it is impossible for Americans to keep on the same financial level. That's a fact. Don't twist this into a "doesn't like Asian thing". There is absolutely no way that I would denigrate the industious and well educated people who are taking our jobs! But, the fact remains that we are losing out to a society where $100 a week in salary is fantastic! And, it is happening in all fields that can be outsourced. If America is to continue to be a viable nation we must have jobs, taxpayers, etc. Therefore we need to keep jobs in this country.
