I don't think that's being entirely fair. I don't think we can get mad at
Gary just because he took advantage of an opportunity that came his way. I
think the real target of your ire should be Larry himself, for not providing
that opportunity for anyone. I mean, it's not like we wouldn't take him out
to dinner too - no one's looking for a free Larry here - but since the rest of
us have access restricted to what we can get from the newsgroups and e-mail,
it's really the way that Larry runs his time that is to blame. And as long as
Larry remains private, there's not really a lot of say that the rest of us
have. All we can do is continue to gripe, and hope that someday Larry wakes
up and starts offering a bulk time ordering service.
