   I think I didn't reply to Tang's "pass the buck" post.  Passing the buck is   
   about giving the responsibility obligation to somebody else.  I druther   
   just drop a clue on the floor.  If somebody thinks it's shiny and puts it   
   in their pocket that's great, maybe they'll find a use for it.  I can give   
   away all the clues I have and not have any fewer.
