A fantastic answer, with clarifications to match. The comments were
also most helpful - many thanks to neoluxau. I may ask a similar
question in the future to find out more, but for now this is a most
comprehensive response.

Very thorough search.. Found some interesting stuff, thanks.

Outstanding performance! You provided me with more links and
information that I would have thought based on the price.

I haven't tried to contact anybody on the list yet, but I appreciate
all the work that went into putting the answer together. Great job,
and thanks! I would tip the Researcher, but since this question was
about a non-profit organization I figure that money would be better
directed toward a charity; don't you agree, "journalist-ga"? ;-)

Your answer could NOT be better!   Thanks!

Excellent answer!!  I just love Google Answers!!  This is precisely what I needed!!

Thank you -- You did a great job.  I will definately use this service
again.  In regards to your personal interest, I would first strongly
recommend "The Taming of the Chew: A Holistic Guide to Stopping
Compulsive Eating" (Penguin 2002).  I wrote this book primarily for
adults but it contains the info anyone needs to understand eating
problems and get insights into ways to stop or change that behavior
(physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually) -- for ourselves
and/or our children.  The new book is tentatively entitled "Chewsing
Wisely: A Holistic Guide to Feeding Our Children and Ourselves". This
one is just entering the publication phase and won't be available for
18 months or so.  Please do visit my website at DeniseLamothe.com for
more information.  Thanks again for you thorough answer.  Denise

Excellent work, dear Boffin Researcher. If you drop me a line
(editor@pspublishing.co.uk) I'll make sure you're credited in the
finished book(assuming I ever finish the darned thing, of course!).
Right now, all I have to do is split up all your wonderful information
into a sequence of bite-sized chunks showing in detail two weeks'
meteorlogical activity (both in the world at large and specifically in
Manhattan) that would result in the storm I requested. It should be
fun. perhaps you would be willing -- should the need arise -- to
provide a little more assistance? Do let me know.
Best wishes and thanks again -- Pete

Hi Journo (Journalist-ga)

of your favourite "Yellow". Cheers from Roger

That was great!  

Thank you so much!

I am confident that when journalist-ga completes my clarification that
I will have the four or five type of people that I am looking for.

This was  a great answer. I appreciate the thoroughness, creativity,
and links. Well done!

This is wonderful! More than I expected. I really thought I'd get just
a list of 10 names, but I also got all that nerdy evidence! I
shouldn't have underestimated a Google Researcher. Thanks!

Absolutely amazing! 

Thank you for such a thorough (and interesting) answer.

You've not only given me information about ingredients but have also
provided the makings of excellent dinner conversation.

Thanks, journalist...and have a great weekend,
TJ

A great help but I was looking for a specific picture.  Henry
Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham (ex 1483).  Possibly by Jacobus
Houbracken but there may be others.

It was a good answer to my question.  Hopefully it will help!  I
especially enjoyed the comments of everyone on this subject.

Some good thoughts.  Thanks

Thanks so much for your quick response.

Thanks - very fast response and plenty of leads for me to follow up
on. Much appreciated

Journalist-ga, I am not complaining about your answer, you gave me
what you said you would, but in practice your solution is likely to be
difficult to implement effectively.  First, if we are seeking people
who are not currently salespeople, we are making a long-shot
solicitation that requires a lot of effort to manage.  There are
practical/ethical problems in approaching currently employed
salespeople through their place of employment.  In any case, the best
ones are not likely to move anyways.
Nevertheless, while I can only assign this answer a low rating, I am
not complaining here (nor seeking a refund).  The process of seeking
good salespeople requires a variety of approaches and investigative
techniques, and the gem of a practical idea may be found in a solution
that doesn't seem realistic.  (As it is, I have found one methodology
that appears to work, but won't post it publicly!)
