Both the giving AND the booting?  You never told us about that connection
before.  But then you've never made that kind of announcement before on at-l
either.  You didn't connect ALL the dots, so you haven't "really" been
there, done that. <VBG>

Nothing wrong with my memory - I was talking about something that happened
long before you ever got here. Don't be taking things so personal - it's bad
for your blood pressure.  <G>

Oh - yeah - remember what I told you about those who call me "Jimmy".  It's
not good luck for those who do it anymore - and I've mourned too many
friends over the last 3 years.

Don't feel any need for cynicism in this case either.  Wise people don't
give to ineffective organizations - regardless of the cause.  Or to feed
someone else's beer and nachos habit.   <VBG>

But - in the end, we all give where we want regardless of logic or wisdom,
don't we?  It's not always a logical decision.  Have fun with it.  <G>

Walk softly,
Jim
