Yo, Frank! I hope you win a lot of money this weekend sitting beside me at the black jack tables because I've got some bad news for you. I just recieved as nice a PM as anyone can receive. Of all the great stuff in it, the lurker wrote that my sense of humor is "priceless." Hey, that means it's even better than anything a Mastercard can buy! --Mike Buckley

re: "PS. I just broadcast emailed this to all your subordinates and co-workers <g>" Like it said, don't trust anyone <g> Actually, it's a philosophy I use only in investing. In the rest of my life, I have constructed a cocoon, where I only have to deal with people I trust.

OT the first line of the quote: "Trust no one..." Yipes, Stan, I'm sure glad I don't work with you. We do some pretty serious stuff on the Day job. The corollary to "trust no one", is "never, never assume". It's this latter that I was thinking of. It is the very first "pearl" on a list of pearls that we give to the residents, interns and medical students on their first day in the surgical intensive care unit. Trust me when I tell you, that the moment you relax and think you've got it all figured out, is the moment before which life and fate slap you upside of the head and bring you back to reality. On the Day job, when we make assumptions, some one gets hurt. It never fails. Moreover, we're held accountable for our outcomes; as we should be. Of course, I'm sure there are many other Day jobs out there in which this is true. Apollo
