    Oh, I dunno. There are some people for whom a "normal" exit just wouldn't be enough! :laugh: The Imaginative Assassin could probably charge a premium for "special" jobs.

              With a meticulous assassin, you get "the victim is history". With an imaginative assassin, it's "the victim is geography". :laugh:

                    I guess if I m hiring an assassin I more concerned with the end result and a lack of breadcrumbs back to thyself; so meticulous appeals more to me! If the result is utter revenge I see imaginative as an ideal quality! I guess 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

                                      I'd slide McAfee and Symantec in near the top of that...and the f'tards that write RansomWare.

                                      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

                                        Good candidates as well. Symantec and InstallShield deserve extra attention for taking once great product lines and making them suck so hard they have an event horizon.
