<The market tanks a few percents and the whole SI board is quiet.> Did it tank? Didn't notice. Personally, I was too busy to even look at my stocks today. Hey, easy come, easy go... Meanwhile, it's back to work for me, even though it's after midnight. <sigh>

Jon...or (clueless on SI) You've had some excellent, meaningful opinions from at least 6 different posters and you still don't get it, you truly are "clueless".

Jon, Here is a real life example of what I am talking about. Last night I got on a plane to come home. It was Southwest airlines and therefore it is a cattle call. I always get to the airport early to make sure that I get an aisle seat. I hate...hate, middle seats. Anyway, the plane filled up and there were only middle seats left, one by me and another a few rows up. A father and young daughter (7 or 8 years old) got on the plane and they were going to be separated. The little girl was clearly uncomfortable sitting between two strangers. I volunteered to the father to give up my seat and sit in the middle seat a couple of rows up so that they could sit together. The good feeling that I got by helping them out far exceeded my discomfort for sitting in a middle seat. I know that this seems like a trivial thing, but as I said, I think that the little things are very important. JXM
