Frank,

Thanks for acknowledging the post. I appreciate your answer. By the way I
wasn't trying to flame anyone, I just wanted to get a view point out about
ethanol that I've had for some time. Breaking into it using the corn angle
was the only way I could think of getting the message across. As you could
tell I'm not a big supporter of ethanol, even though it means more money for
quite a few area people where I live, it also seems to be taking from the
back pockets of others who can less afford the extra costs of food, and
everything that will be affected by the higher demand for corn. It seems to
be good for the farmers though........
I wonder how many of them actually use E85??

Armand

Next post will be AMC related......

> That was me Armand! I forgot all about the many processed foods, was
thinking only what we eat directly. You're 100% correct, we eat a lot of
stuff made from field corn that I totally overlooked. I'm not quoting your
whole message, but it is an interesting read!
