Well put solidG...BTW, I have a friend who worked in Russia for a while as a consultant with Touche Ross (sp?). He told a story of the Russian mafia strong arming the company for payments to do business in "their town"...sounded like an episode of the Sopranos...unreal. He was also hearded by a gang of street gypsies while walking down a busy street then knocked down, beaten and robbed.
Think I'll take Russia off my wish list of countries to visit...sheeeesssshhhhhh
