Hmm ... I realized that the forum I placed this originally, has since been turned into a "moderator-only" access. Not my intention. I want this to be where people can see it and (hopefully) can benefit.

The BIG boys like yahoo, ESPN, Wall Street Journal (and others) have it ... why not you? I'm talking about a link that visitors can click, which allows them to email a friend and send a link to that post (AND a copy of the post, if they so choose).
