If I could find a consortium with 23 others willing to drop a
V note, I'd be happy to try it.

I used to play bridge in his apartment, which he shared with a
buddy of mine. Some years later Dave (yet another one) called me
for my opinion because he'd been approached by Jim Koch to be an
investor in a new venture. I said the plus was that Jim Koch could
sell snow to an Eskimo, but the minus was that the American public
wasn't ready for real beer. And, in fact at first it wasn't. But
I often take the short view when the long view is in order.

Bugmenot was down for a while. I thought they'd been harassed
into giving up their registration. All must be better now?
It's a major service, allowing me to bypass screens that just
cried out to be filled with absurd information, such as that
I was born in 1902 and live in Wyoming.
