A clone? God forbid. My wife would not tolerate it, much less anyone
else.

BTW, I did not post that to the Moto list though, out of competitive
respect. It was just a really interesting and l o n g  list and I
thought it would be interesting, if only for me, to give a shot
answering it from a VL perspective (they were all Moto questions) and
comparing, if only to myself. I did get a few private responses from the
WISP post and I am getting to them.

P.S. - I am more persistent than aggressive...well, maybe a bit of both.

I've seen you on the MOTO list in the past :)

Your a real trooper.
Wish there were some unemployed Patrick Leary clones around.
WOW, could you imaging what a Patrick Leary clone could do for your 
business.

Yikes, talk about agressive...
