Jim,
I'd be happy to be a brick in building what shouldn't be that difficult of an outhouse of information, and not I'm talking about a toilet. My original suggestions were based on personal experience, BUT they are also based on years long establishing of the right connections within that arena. I've been writing commentary for the last 4 years and am just now getting into writing feature articles. I'm sure that Gene will be more than ready to tell you that for a non-journalist, it ain't easy.
