essence of what I was looking for.  Thanks!

I debated between giving Richard-ga 4 or 5 stars because it took a few
iterations to get to the answer, but he did get me the right answer
and his attitude/initiative through the questions he asked was very
helpful, so in the end I gave him five. Had it taken a few less
iterations I would have left a tip also.

good advise for such a small fee,thanks

Sorry, but your answer seems incorrect to me. (I have
meanwhile figured out the answer myself and have tried
to cancel this question.) The probability of ABCD is
the probability of A times the probability of B given
A times the probability of C given A,B times the probability
of D given A,B,C.  But the probability of C given A must be
the same as the probability of C given A and B, because C
is affected only by A. So ABCD is .27.

You appear to have just assumed independence and
calculated P(ABCD) as the product of P(A), P(B),
P(C), P(D).

Thanks anyway.  If there is a way to tip you for trying, let me know!

Thanks again for clarifying pure language with concrete numbers for an
engineer gone businessperson. :)

FYI, for the clarification point one, I've already got an idea on how
to handle "buybacks", depending on whether it's another member buying
them out, or the partnership/LLC.

Also, for the second note, the IRS does seem to make a suggestion
about $0-basis partners. See your referenced document, page 7, under
Limits on Losses.
