Re: 60 day waiting peroid.

[Einar Stefferud <Stef@nma.com>]

So Dave, with a 60 day waiting period, the willful challenger just
waits till day 59 and then lodges a complaint.  

Are you saying that the prudent business person will wait until day 61
to start investing?

Are you speaking for yourself when you say such a thing?  
Is there really how you operated when you set up IMC.ORG?

Why do I seriously doubt that you behave the way you predict that
others will?  In short, I do not believe you;-)...

Why do I find so many of the supporting comments about 60 days are
full of unsupported hypothetical expectations of human behavior, and
no foundation in law to support how 60 days of waiting (or any days of
waiting) will actually make anything good happen.

I remain entirely unconvinced.  Best...\Stef
