That what I like about you, you're not a quitter :) I maintain that it remains a good analogy because the principle is exactly the same - there IS a probability of combat death (I've calculated it) and it is higher for 2 years than 1 year than 6 months. Granted the numbers will change on a daily basis, but the principle doesn't change: the longer you stay the more likely you are to be killed. So my point was, what's smarter? To stay until the odds catch up to you, or find a way to when who's odds favor you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:220462 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
