   Sure you do...
   So, basically, you're trying to backpedal from dishonest to incompetent.

   Actually -- nightmares.  The thought of you touching any system of any
importance when you can't handle a simple copy & paste frightens me.

   Of course!  How could I not see it before?  Western Philosophy since the
days of Socrates have been all wrong!  The size of a wager is *clearly* linked
to amount of 'substance' and how ethical an individual is!  
   Does that require further commentary?  No?  Didn't think it did...
   Sorry Rick -- you're going to need every coin you can scrape up if your
professional career works out like your shell sessions.  Fortunately for you,
I don't subscribe to your idea of ethics and I don't particularly care what
anyone thinks about me.
