Dave,
Sorry to hear it is official but after what I read a couple of weeks ago, I posted and asked you if that would affect you. I was afraid their announcement about cutting back may filter down to the real workers.
I wish you all the best and hope that things will work out very soon. Take Jamo's advise as he knows far more than any of us about this kind of thing.
Best of luck and e-mail me if you have any think that looks good.
Ron
