Hi Nicholas! Here in Florida the boss is the only one who makes a living. Everyone else gets subsistence, if that. The boss gets so much, however, that the average per-capita of the state looks reasonable since all the bosses are included in the average. Welcome to the third world. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
