Hi Rex

I have read your comments for some time and like your contributions to this
newsgroup.  I am curious to know if you have any opinions, insights as to the
future of data - your org S&P/ M H is a big supplier to the securities
business - I am curious with Edgar (SEC data) - how high are the barriers to
entry in that side of the business?

On a data -> Information -> knowledge pyramid where o you see your
oganization?  

I must say I am from the securities business - and compustat still has a lock
on the data from our perspective.  Access to the data is competitive, and PC
+ is behind.  

I hope I am not asking questions so far away from your area of work that you
will not respond.  It is an interesting development and could make for an
interesting dialogue.

Thanks - John Harper
