:-). I guess you can see that David and I have worked together. Twice he
has been my indirect supervisor, and as it turns out he never heard me say
"no" but he has heard me say "f*** o** and d** m*****f*****", and I dare say
that Network Solutions has heard even choicer words when they screw up.
Giving me money is no guarantee of polite treatment. I do the right thing,
money or no money. The funny thing is, people keep giving me money anyway.
