   Many of us here seem to be cynical optimists... we say it's going to   
   fail, but if it works, woo-hoo! We win both ways, the first, we have the

   MCA tends to beat arrogance out of one. Lots of experiences of coming to   
   a complete stop.   
      
   Ever hear of "Laughter through tears"? Should be the meme for this group...
