   You're reading my mind again. :) Yeah, Jerry did pretty well; and still   
   does, I believe. He was also one of the few who got paid for Cooney's   
   Vorcon. He threatened legal action, and he was NOT bluffing. Pleasant enough   
   fellow to your face, very polite to fans, but not someone I'd care to have   
   as an enemy.
