Trippy. I mean, a couple of those links didnt work but, wow. Plucky is flabbergasted. To think that something in 1999 affected something or other.

I don't get it... yeah, I'm shocked by the price jump, but I don't get the point here.

Can you expand in the OP a bit to catch some attention? Honestly, I really don't have any incentive to read the links (not trying to be a jerk or anything... just trying to help you out a bit). The short of it is that it's just cryptical and I don't understand any connection by your post that indicates anything other than number coincidences.

BTW, I'll check the links, just think you should quote a little from each one to show the connection a bit better.
