opalcomp ::: Favorites Excellent presentation! I want to contribute an old, true Chinese tale: a wealthy man achieved great wisdom through his efforts. He then dumped all his property in a deep lake. When criticized and told he should have given to the poor, he said "I consider all this to be a great burden. Why would I give it to someone else?" Note: in those days, not much was being dumped in lakes, and it would decompose :--) 07-06-25 04:57:32 _____________________________________________________
