Ok, that's a fair amount. However, in this hypothetical the reserve would be chipped away at year after year. How long would that be appropriate? I'm not debating, I'm really just trying to play it all out. -------------------------------------------------- From: "John R.

John, do you know offhand how much is in the reserve?
They publish the numbers:

Looks to me like it currently contains about $50 million. In answer to another comment, it really is a reserve, not a dedicated fund or anything else.
