If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

That is the most polite way I have ever heard/read that expression uttered/written.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." --Stephen Crane

I'm not sure that wouldn't be cause for celebration given the tales he's been telling. Sometimes sanity is more important than money. Not often. Just sometimes.

Sanity matters more than money when you've already got food, shelter and clothing. If John still has a mortgage, then I'd say it would be unwise to try to make that call by posting his intentions in a public website.

You know, I was with you right up to the part where you used the word wise in the same paragraph as John... :-D And yeah, just for the record, I live by the credo that you should never say anything electronically that you wouldn't want to see on the 6:00 news, so I applaud your sentiments.
