Request for Question Clarification by justaskscott-ga on 18 Jan 2003 07:30 PST

I am interested in answering your question, but I believe that to
answer it well, your question will require more time and effort than
the average amount of time and effort associated with this price. 
Here is a link to guidelines about pricing your question,
http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html

If you both raise your price and also post a clarification here, the
system will notify me and I will take another look at your question.

I can buy two books that will solve my problem, plus provide a wealth
of additional info. So there is a tradeoff; but if you can really
answer my question completly then I am willing to pay up to $10. ($5
plus $5 tip) FYI, both books cost about $7 each, so after $10 it is
really better to buy the books. Thank you for your feedback.
