Re: Specific Questions

Chris and all,

  I could go along with this approach.  I think that an estimate
should be posted befor so that you can meet your second point.
demand a deposit of the estimated cost up front, than continue
on with the rest of your points here.  This should work well.

  Same can apply for the lottery.  But I suppose that is what
the $20,000 fee is for.  I would demand a portion of that 
up front and the remainder upon approval and selection.  If
not selected only pre determined filing fees and handeling
would be forfit, the remainder returned with intrest.

Regards,
