Richard, you're so on-topic, yet again, I see. There is nothing like discussing Forth. You're so good at it. Hey, why don't we just go ahead discuss McDonald's? I could talk about their food for a while, for real. Richard, would you have any objections to that? ... As for the restaurant you mentioned, they opened in 1995, while Buffett's chain opened in 2002. The house next to your house probably had legal standing. Here, I'll go ahead and post your links for you, since you're "dying" to do so anyway: "Beef 'n Buns in Paradise" http://www.beefnbunsnparadise.com/ Arius http://www.arius.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/ariusinc You _could_ put those in your signature, but not the "Beef 'n Buns in Paradise" one or someone might think you're a male stripper. Hey, wouldn't you rather be kayaking for a living? That'd be the life, right? Buy a GoPro camera, pick some famous and not-so-famous U.S. rivers, put up some videos on Youtube, have a few minutes of video fame for capturing some rare bird or tree, or a Asian carp busting up your new, expensive camera, and earn a few cents from video ads. Well, from your resume, it would seem you are kayaking for a living, or would rather be kayaking than working for a living. You've still got at least another five to seven to go to retire. Please don't harass him by calling his phone numbers or spamming his emails. It's not like he spams c.l.f. Rod Pemberton
