By the way, Vernon, I've been meaning to ask you where you got a copy
of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition?
Did you know that the word Ferengi comes from the Indian Hindi word
ferengi, meaning foreigner?

It's been a while, but I believe I compiled my list from both Wikipedia
and from the Memory Alpha area ofhttp://www.startrek.com.  And no, I
did not know the source of Ferengi.

Thanks. I guess that means I'll have to dig them up the hard way!
