I have no interest in trying to swindle another individual. Thanks for the kind words. I think...LOL
I wasn't being hard on myself at all. My post was very truthful and accurate. I believe that you have read all of my posts on WoV and here for the time being to be able to see when I am being serious compared to when I am being sarcastic. I am pretty straight forward for the most part. Most of the time, I am being serious, especially when I type out longer posts. The sarcastic ones usually are short quips and I usually am pretty snide about it. The other style of posts are usually when I am being defense or outright belligerent. I have many of those against ZenKing when I first started to interact with him because I was more raw to forums and I was reacting emotionally instead of actually using my brain. However, even with him, I typed out some useful information to get him started. Now with the Wiz, his needles were far more clever and I took a direct approach with him.
The truth about me is what my elementary teachers posted on my report cards about me back from 1980-84. It appears that I would get B's or C's with the number 3 next to them. When you would look down at the number key it would state something like this student is not using his full potential. Low ambition, I suppose, which has carried over for 35 years after those remarks. One could easily say that about my current life. When I first had over 100k in cash I honestly do not understand how people go broke with this amount or more. I find it very difficult for anyone to need this amount, even in our current state of affairs where the dollar isn't worth very much. Even with my splurging and selfish purchases, that do not help anyone or anything besides my own lusts or desires, it is still difficult to plow through this amount or more without recklessness.
I was not implying that you would swindle me or others. My statement about you was that it could be done with ease if that is something you wanted to do. In my circle or line of work that is something to respect or even admire. One problem is that internet life is never the same as real life interactions. I think most would agree with that statement. I know many of the Recreational Gamblers or Anti-Advantage Players believe that most everything told on the line is fabrication and that most AP's are not telling the truth or hiding it in some way.

I was not being sarcastic in that post about MP. If you are trying to say that it won't be long before we are all in the grave with your atom remark I couldn't agree more. The end is closer than one thinks.
