its sure nice and comforting to be assured that the captain of the ship
does not know he is not there while the whole damn thing runs afoul.
Thats what the exxon valdez captain said too. and he is still doiong
socially useful work cleaning up after himself. Besides, 
Maybe that puts you in a league with some of our other captains, eg at
1600 Penn ave, and it remainds me of the quote i just saw from Georgie
Burns [ i think on Znet] about us having lots of people who can run the
country [and by extension our net] but unfortubnatrely they are all
driving taxis or cutting hair. I suppose you are in the taxi driver 
categlry, which is more than i can  say for some other captains and
stewards, who are not even cutting hair, but maybe are out getting theirs
clipped.
respectfully submitted
