Sad is the right assessment for those who play as clever and as dirty as possible...I'm reminded of Emily Dickinson's "I'm Nobody, Who are You?' - second stanza - "How dreary to be a somebody//How public, like a frog//To tell your name the livelong day//To the admiring bog...The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? A True Write is this, Mike! Best wishes, Gershon
