Request for Question Clarification by juggler-ga on 23 Aug 2003 17:08 PDT

Hello mpm013160,

The company and its principals have been mentioned in dozens of
articles. I could provide you with links to some of those articles and
instructions on how to easily obtain the other articles that are not
available free but may be purchased onliine for a small fee (e.g.,
$2.50 per article).

Generally speaking, the articles are news reports concerning the Prism
Company's real estate activities (i.e., various development projects).

Would this information be acceptable as an answer?

This would be acceptable; however for the fee I don't think I should
have to pay for the articles.  OK ??

My esteemed colleague, juggler-ga, may not need any extra information
to find your articles, but I sure could use some additional info --
that is, if you'd like to have another researcher look into your
question as well.

I come up with very ambiguous information for my searches -- several
companies with "Prism" in the name, but I'm not sure which -- if any
-- are the ones you're looking for (my closest guess is Prism
Mortgage).

Is there anything more you can tell us?  The exact company name? 
Address?  How you are aware of them?  The nature of their business?

Any additional information would be a help here.  Thanks.

Hello mpm013160,

As my colleague pafalafa-ga indicates, I do not need any additional
information from you.

I have located articles and information about Prism and its
principals.

However, the information that is available free on the Web is rather
sparse. I could give you maybe a half-dozen free links to articles and
other information about Prism, but it's pretty minimal information. It
probably wouldn't be worth $100 to you.

I could also direct you to some paid databases from which you could
obtain several dozen articles that mention Prism and its various
development projects.  Again, though, such articles would cost you
around $2 or $3 per article.  I can see why you might be reluctant to
pay extra, considering your existing $100 price tag.  I can't obtain
the articles for you, though. For copyright reasons, the database
articles would have to be obtained by you directly from the source.

Thus, you might consider lowering the price of this question.  It's up
to you. If you think a few links to articles, along with directions on
how to obtain additional articles, would be worth less than $100, you
could reduce the price of this question down to something that you
consider appropriate.

Thanks.
