Those of us who earn our living as researchers don't really have a problem
with this. It's the way most professionals operate, especially those who
"educate". Better to do it right than to be like the gardening show host
who asked a guest what time of year was best to transplant your carrot
seedlings out to the garden. ;-)

Yes, you can. Mainly because she has some one else do the reasearch and
work and she takes the credit for it. I have learned a lot.

I am surprised you can learn anything from that show.

When I first got onto the internet, I was surprised at the invective aimed
at Martha Stewart. I had never heard of her. At the time, I indicated that
she is entitled to make a living any legal way she could. That is the
American way. Every now and then a nothing gets to be very successful.

After watching the show several times, I could see why people might resent
her. She gave some terrible knife sharpening advice. Her experts did not
prevent her from doing that.

She still is allowed to make a living. Nevertheless, it is also the American
way to poke fun when media idols are found to have feet of clay.

Er...we're talking securities fraud. She's allegedly done some
illegal things on the market.

While I am no fan of hers, I still think she is the female scapegoat
while all the male white-collar-crimers from Enron, et al, get away with
murdar.

The problem is she was a director of the New York Stock Exchange who got
caught with her hand in the cookie jar. It doesn't matter that she
[allegedly] only stole one cookie. As a director of the exchange and as
a former stock broker, she is held to a higher standard than most
people.

I don't really care about Martha, I'm waiting for Bernie Ebbers and
Scott Sullivan [Worldcom] to get thrown in jail for 50 or 60 years.

Best regards,
