Hi I am PJ-----I was just reading about all the time it takes for you to
find
   whatever you are looking for. It seems like a lot of work. I may, or may
not be
  able to speed that up considerably. If you have time--give me a call so I
can
  discuss it with one or several of you. Looking forward to talking to you.
  Thank you--P J.
