Doug and I will be putting up our "Thumbs Up" and "Thumbs Down" on the articles in the near future.  In the mean time, I just wanted to bring back to your attention the Citizen article done by Cutter Mitchell at the end of last month that discussed money and percentages.  Perhaps a table might be helpful:
