    So I guess anything that comes under the "this guy does not know what he is talking about is inflammatory" huh?

    Polite disagreement is fine. Certain adjectives and adverbs, however, can push a post over the line.

The next day they would take everything back and get it off their credit cards. Just because you drive a nice car doesn't mean anything. Most people I know that have huge houses and nice cars are maxed out to the gills.
    Kevin,

    Couldn't agree with you more! In fact, most people (generalization, of course) are only two or three pay cheques away from being homeless!

    Not only in Blackhawk, CA but it could be your next door neighbor!

    Conversely, some of the wealthiest people I know don't get up in the morning and hop into a Versace or Zegna suit! One of my friends was snubbed when he went in to look at a Benz in his grubby jeans. The next day... he went back in and bought a 500E station wagon with his cc. Needless to say, the salesman who snubbed him didn't get the commission. I can only imagine the look on his face!

    So, one would be an absolute fool to judge a book by its cover!

    Cheers
    Life in the fast lane!
