So, I >vacillated and someone else bought it. ah well. I've known a few people who were very good at making money, in the sense of making money for its own sake, without actually creating anything. They seemed to mostly do it for sport, to be a winner and to flaunt it. As Larry Ellison [1] says, it's not enough that I win, everybody else has to lose. These guys, like many politicians, seem to often be sexual atheletes too, again in the sense of scoring and winning. After realizing thet they have mostly conquered half of the population, they often go after the other half. I knew one guy like this that made a huge fortune and had literally thousands of sexual partners. He never read an entire book in his life, and couldn't sit through a movie; there was nothing in it for him. We're mainly engineers here, not overly concerned about money. We mostly like to build things. John [1] Funny how I always dislike guys named Larry. We have a friend who used to be Larry, nice guy, but last year he changed his name to Jerome.

Charles Ponzi was the name of the man who created the pyramid scheme. 'Double your money in 90 days!" Six dollars into 3000 dollars in 30 days my sending elmails to six other people, etc...
