Agincourt, I really like your screen name. I'm not really a big fan of Shakespeare, but Henry the V is just such an awesome story. I have a copy of Brannaugh's movie version. I can almost always enjoy watching it, and I'm not one to watch the same movie over and over... and certainly not Shakespeare. That movie got me interested enough to research the historical battle.

Geezer, thanks for your posts. Your examples affirmed my initial objections.

RE: Henry V

Actually, I always liked the story, (have Branagh Version on DVD) the battle, the famous speech of Henry V before the battle, its probably the most inspirational pre battle speech ever given (Shakespeare may have embellished it, but so what)its a classic.

If you researched, you probably already have this book, but if you don't, you might find it interesting, Title: Agincourt 1415: Triumph against the Odds, by Matthew Bennett.

But getting back to the apttax.com, I looked at NRST and APT TAX, and I just find the APT so much more spread out and less of a bite than a HUGE NRST.

But neither has a chance unless someone with HUGE stature like a RUSH LIMBAUGH comes out for it.
