This excellent, very thorough answer gives me everything I need and
then some.
I am just so impressed with the the whole "G/A" concept. Being a busy
business man I do not have the time to resource these things myself.
Good on you larre-ga

this is an incredible service, and has helped me tremendously!

Just an excellent job of helping me understand this complicated
process. Thanks so much. This question has been on my mind for quite
some time, especially since I love the Rocky Moutains like I do.

Thanks for the diggs,

I found this answer to be very thorough and packed with resources and
information to further learn from.  I appreciated the time and effort
Larre put into this, as I know it was a pretty general question.  As
for the comment by mathee, "Woa...relax."  Of course it is ultimately
the end result that matters most, ie. you can spend 100 hours on a
site that isn't worth $10, but that isn't the case here, and if it
was, I wouldn't have paid $200 for the expert advice of a researcher. 
Thanks Larre.

This is great!  The best thing about getting this answer is the tools
I can use for the many other geodetic data questions I have.

Many thanks!

thank you larre! a great clear cut answer... straightforward... worth the money :)

Encyclopedic and very clear.  Good job.

Excellent!  Precisely the kind of explanation I needed!

Thank you for the very prompt reply.
Although quite a few of the data mentioned were known to us, the
crucial fact that the rights had been transferred to Universal was
unknown (as was the link you offered).
Also, the methodological approach to the problem was very interesting.
I will keep you posted if, at the end of the day, we manage to secure
the rights for the specific movie...

The answer will save me a ton of time.  However, I wish there was a
little more specfic answer or summary of what some of the sources
said.  The answer is mostly a catalouge of where to GO for answers,
not answers themselves.

Also, without looking through all the references, I am not seeing
sources for export tarrifs from producing countries.

Otherwise, thanks.

Thank you soooo much, we're on a student budget, so we're going to
stay at Adelaide. However; next summer there are going to be about 10
of us (aged 18 -20) in San Fran, and Adelaide's kinda small for that,
so we're definitely all set!

Thanks you so much!!!!!

Larre-ga is a very "precised" researcher.  He has read through all the
sources and provided excellent summaries on each of the sources as
well.  After I have read through all those summaries and some of the
sources, I strongly felt that he has been really resposible for not
only his job, but also his work.  Finally, I want to thank him one
more time.  All those sources that he has found are extremely helpful.

Excellent sources cited and good suggestions too! Overall a thorough
consideration of this multi-part question.

Good research turned up several avenues for me to pursue, and since it
wasn't possible to fully answer the original question, the researcher
graciously posted her work as an un-compensated comment. Because it
was so helpful, however, I have insisted on re-pricing the original
question and paying for the answer.

Quick response, detailed analysis.

I have to check these out in detail to see which one really meets my
needs, but based on an initial review of these suggested vendors, one
or more of these should work out great!  I've been looking for this
information for months and this was FAR more cost-effective than
continuing to look myself!!!

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

Great final answer.  The first answer was 3-4 stars, and then the
clarification was excellent.

Very thorough job  - pretty much exactly what I was after, but did not
have the time or acumen to get there.  Thanks!!
