<<As far as I am concerned this is the perfect work for Congress -- posturing, long-winded speeches, heavy duty self-righteousness on both sides, lots of hearings, in short much sound and fury signifying nothing.>> Yes, it's kind of like the person in the office that you give "special projects" to so they're, at least, out of the way. One downside, though, is the risk of expansion of the hole in the ozone layer from the sudden bursts of humongous volumes of gas. I guess everything has positive and negative aspects. (Perhaps the releases could be captured and processed as an alternative energy source?)

Valueman, don't forget Irwin is very generously giving or gave $15m or so to San Diego University engineering department. Also, they do cash in some chips to buy houses, spread the risk a bit, have some fun and all that. Adelia's selloff seems major scale and I wonder about that. But all the rest make sense. I'm not worried about it. These people are not 'insider traders'. Sure, they will judge selling at a high price, but they are not fleeing the company [Adelia excepted maybe]. *OT* Okay, just a little on politics since Ramsey isn't around, but without the redeeming feature of it being linked to Q! though if Al Gore becomes the president, he is linked to Q! as he has been an admirer of Q! for years. mmeggs, you said "Getting hummers in the Oval Office is not my idea of "work" either, but no one was crying about distractions then." Apparently Bill just kept right on working - talking on the phone while the humming was going on. It's a bit like complaining that a truck driver listens to music while he drives the truck along the interstate. Nobody whines about that! Same as our digestive systems and other fluid mechanical physiological functions all continue working while we have our minds on something else. Bill has good powers of concentration. Perhaps it should be a test for Presidents. Able to conduct an intelligent conversation by phone and issue orders of state while humming The Star Spangled Banner. It's funny how the whole investigation got going on criminal matters which amounted to zero and ended up with prurient and jealous people focusing on how attactive he is to women. Monica only entered the picture at the 11th hour. Yes, I know they are upset that he used verbal dexterity and deception in court to avoid being caught for it and his crass attempt to persuade Paula Jones to hum along with him. Either way, Q! should do okay. Mqurice PS: I can't imagine Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan keeping their minds on the job if there were hummingbirds in the office. Bill C. is showing real strength of character and powers of concentration. What are those military jeep things? Aren't they 'hummers'? USA cultural practises are difficult to keep up with here in the land of sheep, yachts and golf. We learn about them when movies come out a year or three later.
