   They sold Alaska to the usa. Ok deal done. If you sold your old useless   
   computer to someone....  will you still pant for it like a little child?   
   "oh mummy, they got it ,but now it's worth much more.... aaaaaaaa   I want   
   it back"  Should thought of it before.   
   Sorry!    Sometimes you sell a gem for the price of salt. And you have to   
   live with it.

   Wherever one turns there seem to be misinformed and pompous   
   pontifications by 'William Black', spreading like an unstppable virus   
   across the internet.   
      
   They are all bear the same hallmark - short, pithy and stupid. And,   
   equally sadly, they are delivered with an air of impregnable self-   
   mportance.   
      
   William, dear boy, have you considered getting professional help?
