Wow! That came out of the blue! They ought to take his estate and divide it proportionately among ENR bagholders who were duped by his deceit. Let his heirs live on whatever Social Security they might have coming.

Rob,
Please! You know those who got duped who would get paid first are the big boys and girls. How much of a hit did Martha take?

Actually, I agree with you 100%. All that stealing didn't do him much good, did it? He didn't keep it long. And now he has to settle things with the Judge of all the Earth.

home today and read through a bunch of messages that I want to comment on.

1. Doug, you are NOT an ugly old man. Your face has a wonderful, sincere, very lovable, quality to it.

2. And you are NOT an a$$hole. I perceive you to be a detail oriented, insightful, intelligent, sensitive, well spoken, knowledgeable gentlemen who so generously shares his time and knowledge/info.

3. Scifos - many, many blessings to you and your lovely new wife. I wish you both much love, happiness, wealth, health, success, wisdom, joy, peace, balance, clarity and a shared old age filled with wonderful memories and no regrets.

4. Webs, my dear Vulcan friend, if you gained 20 pounds, my advise to you is to keep them right where they are. They look good on you.

5. Lye, yikes! You need to think of your heart with all that weight gain. I'd love to still see you here many many years from now.

6. to all those that comment on posts that are drivel. I am Queen of drivel, but it's heartfelt.

I'm off again.
success to all!
