Justa - Clearly both pay each other great honor. I expect now to see thousands of posts all over the internet now stating both that Brinker can't be any good at what he does because he must do the show for meal money <g> I think the answer to this issue is simple, really. We almost all use pay as a yardstick to measure our contribution. Even if you are independently wealthy, you still want to get compensated fairly. This acknowledgement of our worth by others seems to be fairly strong. Look at Gates: My guess is he is trying to build the most successful company ever to grace the face of this planet. Part of his measure of success is how many millionaires he creates out of employees and how happy those employees are to work for him. Further signs you have made it is when the bloodsuckers smell money and come at you tooth and nail to take it away under the guise of "fairness" (unless you buy them off). Brinker may not have to do the show to be at a critical mass he wants, but he does have to "show up at the office and punch the clock" just like a workin' stiff so he can claim that title by all rights of fairness. It has been suggested that DaBrink's measure of success will be correctly calling the next bear to save us "working stiffs that lived below our means to amass some wealth" from losing a large chunk of it - or possibly even profiting by shorting the market when the call comes. BTW, I thought your posts were so good here and on the UTEK thread that I too thought you might be "da Man". I am glad that you and Don have cleared up the name history. [clear as mud!] <g> regards Kirk out
