Michael, It's a good thing that you put in all the disclaimers before you got to the Mars/Venus thing otherwise I might have stopped reading and sent you a different kind of response<G>. But I was very glad to see that you agreed with me even though you are from Mars. There is one thing I learned many years ago and that is that people buy from people. If you don't like a person the odds are that you will not buy from that person. If you do like someone you can usually overlook a lot of things because that person makes you want to buy from him/her. The same thing is true with respect to whether employees will follow where he leads. My opinion is that he exudes sincerity and makes you want to believe in him and his company. Melissa
