Reminder to my faithful readers:  If you haven't already taken the Reader Survey, please do so.  Why?

• It takes 3 to 5 minutes, even if you get two phone calls while filling it out;
• One lucky respondent will win a $200 AMEX gift check (this is called an "incentive;" economists are fond of incentives); and
• The more readers who respond, the better I'll be able to understand—based on information, not anecdote—what you all truly want and expect from "Adam Smith, Esq."

Thanks again; and look to read about the results here shortly after Labor Day.  (The survey closes at midnight on August 31.)
