Cent, cent (for what it's worth -- pun intended).

I collect old sayings and one that applies here, I believe, is, "Keep your
friends close and your "enemies" closer."

After all, this is competition and if we don't know what we are competing
against, how can we compete?

Can ya'll tell that I agree with Dustin?

Thanks for your help,
