I think I read where he just got married. History proves that will slow him down. I've seen it countless times. No offense to any that has had this happen too. I'm just saying. I'm married myself.. and yes hobbies takes a backseat. ;)

I'm starting to see a pattern here...

So all you have to do to find a wife is writing a Top5 extension? I should try that... :lol:

orph (wrt your sig):

We of course all know Murphy's Law: Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.

But there actually are some lesser known corollaries:
  • What can not go wrong will nevertheless go wrong.
  • The effort to improve things will make everything even worse.
  • Trying not to do anything so nothing can go wrong will go wrong.
