"Incidentally, that one-inch line with a six inch brush isn't so tough. With the right technique, you could paint a 1/4 inch line with it."
Finally, in the midst of all you M.D.s, PhDs and MBAs, a topic I feel qualified to comment on: while it's true, one could paint a 1/4" line with a six inch brush, it would require an amazing amount of technique, and a very steady hand. Obviously, it would be much simpler to use a fine artist's brush...
(Disclaimer: I am a house-painting contractor, and, if it's any slight consolation, I have an MFA--in theatre. Which qualifies me to be...a housepainter.)
Here's looking forward to the day when we can look back and say "yep, that was the bottom, alright." Hopefully sooner, rather than later, though in this environment I'm not holding my breath. Just quietly accumulating shares of what I feel/hope will be highly successful cos. once the economy begins to right itself and corporate spending reverts to a more normalized pattern. That and a big box of bandaids to stem the flow of blood from both hands (perhaps a tourniquet would be in order at this point...).
Regards, and thanks for an interesting, informative forum--
