    Well, Al is currently off suffering great hardships and depravations on Andros Island, Bahamas, (such as working South American DX on 6 meters almost nightly and contributing storytime fodder to native voodoo practitioners), and your humble page designer (who also practices law when he feels like it, which isn't very often at all) has just plain run out of juice for the evening. Someone needs to speak with Al about this- allowing a lawyer to program a webpage. Jeeze, you could be in the middle of reading some great page on a new VHF amplifier modification, and poof- instead of getting that crucial info on the primary & secondary windings of that special order Heritage transformer, it instead launches into an argument over why the fair market value of a decendent's 10,000 shares of ImClone should be calculated using the alternate valuation date, or why the "Service" taxes the tax a donor pays on a gift... gift tax = tax exclusive, estate tax = tax inclusive.... oops, sorry about that, happens sometimes. Well, I better call it a night before you ask me that "simple" legal question (which takes 15 minutes for you to explain to me incorrectly), & I have to go through my if/then/but "hypothetical" schpeal to 1.) avoid potential liability to someone who would never pay me a dime for my advice anyway & 2.) confuse you while I beat feet through the back door cuz I prefer not to think about other people's problems for less than $175.00 per hour.


I'm not a programmer so I do this alot

It also means "I ain't done yet"
