This researcher was just *invaluable* in helping my family which some
much needed information.  She (or he) was fast, factual, and backed
everything up with easy to find resources.  If it was up to me to find
this info, I'd STILL be on the computer and this question was asked in
November!  Thanks so much, digsalot!  I'm so glad I finally found this
"rating" button - just wish I could've rated higher than a "5 star"!!!

Great amount of information, maybe I askewd too much (especially the
speculative stuff) but he kept coming back with great answers and I
now have sufficient to work with ! Thanks !

That's it!  Just superb!

Included the exact phrase I was asking for, fleshed it out with
explanation and a couple of links. Great service

Thank you. Your encouragemnt was really helpful.

you have save me so much time

Far more than I was expecting to get; thank you very much. I really
must apologise for the question... I wasn't expecting it to require
nearly as much work as it did!

Great help. thank you.
clarif: Because of the extra packaging exp. and the 6-8 in. companies
are not really interested (for them floss is only toothache)

Thanks.  Nice job.  The researcher's findings were the same as mine. 
I just wanted an independent second opinion.

Excellent! A much more thorough answer than I was expecting for just
$5. My curiosity is sated. Actually, I'm finding answers.google.com to
be somewhat addictive.

This is certainly an impressive and detailed answer.  From your answer
it looks like most of the adult population in India is registered to
vote.  If the percent of registered voters who actually vote is 65%,
then this is higher than in the U.S.  The use of picture ballots for
the illiterate means that illiteracy is not a barrier to keep the poor
from voting.  The relatively small number of poll workers does leave
open the possiblity of fraud or accidental mistakes in the voting
process.  But this happens in the U.S. too, as in Bush v. Gore.  I
infer from your answer that the main reason the poor don't use their
majority status to vote for various wealth redistribution schemes is
because power in India is too decentralized to effectively enforce
such policies even if they become law.  I also infer that the amount
of wealth available for redistribution is small compared to the
population as a whole.  And finally, there is India's experiment with
socialism in the 1970s that yielded mixed results.  Once again, thank
you for an excellent answer.

This is a good answer to a difficult question.

Research and clarification led to the correct answer.
I am impressed with "Google Answers", and with digsalot-ga.
I foresee much success with this site

It is substantial.

Great answer. I would have liked some advice on how I might have
answered this myself using the resources in the internet. i.e. what
search strategy could I have used? I am more of an active than a
passive learner

This is good information, however it doesn't resolve questions such as
chemical make up of pencil lead other than graphite, which might be
poison, or if each company producing pencil lead has their own
chemical make up with both soft and hard lead pencils.  Has pencil
lead changed in chemical make-up from 1960's to 2002.  We were putting
asbestos behind walls in schools. No one has really looked at long
term studies with pencil lead in the skin.  How about silver in your
teeth.  Many dentists now-- after looking away from this problem are
now replacing the silver believed possibly to be a link in bad health.
 One couldn't get poisoning from the skin just a few years ago, now we
use patches to deliver medicine.  Research companies need to look into
this further carbon and graphite in pencils are considered poison
according to digsalot-ga's research on website "avera".

The answer was very significant and showed how relatively the
researcher was able to latch onto my wavelength without much
linguistical cooperation from my end in getting him there.  The answer
was focused and did provide me with the adequate argument to go back
into a discussion which had me puzzled for a counter argument. :-)

Thank you!

Thank you for the information regarding the legal/tax issues. 
However, maybe I wasn't detailed in enough in my question or the 2nd
part (costs) took away. was also looking for the steps involved in
setting up a non-profit, such as setting up a board, incorporating,
etc.  The answer met the requirements for the cost estimates and tax
issues, while the comments and direction to the Nolo website provided
the other answers.  Thanks to all for your help

Thanks Digsalot,

The comment clarified the remainder of the answer I needed, a job well done. :-)

I really appreciate your quick response. You were very thorough. I
will recommend this site to others.

Even though there is no definitive 'answer' posted here, the
information to get the answer has been thoroughly researched and
provided to me. Digs is great with follow-up, would highly recommend
to anyone. Thanks so much!!! I'm off to call 'Dan' and to bake some
items, hopefully!

Thanks again.

Thank you very much for your help. I would really appreciate if you
could send me their response when you get it.

Great work!

mwalcoff-ga had a better response.

To further my question about Hynes, IA, ca. 1904...Where is the site
or township & would like to research the family of Frank E. Vance,
(1904-1942). He was born in Hynes, IA...Thanx for your great work..The
information provided, thus far, is fascinating. Would like to forward
this info to his daughter, by email.  How do I do it?  King Forbes
Pedlar   kingpedlar@hotmail.com

This is the first time I am using your service but I am absolutely
overwhelmed by the excellence of it!  I'd give you 10 stars if you had
a catagory for it.  I could not have wished for a better response. 
Many thanks.

I really appreciated the speed and the info.  It gave me ideas as to
what to do.  Would have been a five star (4+ now) if I was given as
idea as to overstuffed furniture...recover?  clean?  However, very
helpful answer.
