    Absolutely, how can he dare ask for more after he has had his supper!!! You can't deny those mutton chops look good on me, not to mention the hair! It's all about the sheffield steel....

    In my opinion we need to keep reevaluating how we do stuff, as well as think of ways to improve them. I personally would be most happy if instead of shelving the OP's idea we could figure out a way to implement it in a way that gets rid of the negatives. So I'm not really prepared to say we can't or won't do it and end this discussion - I hope instead we could think of ways to solve the problems that were brought forward.
    Oh yeah I agree wholeheartedly; It's certainly not a bad idea, a lot of people put stuff out the front of their house and put a sign up stating 'Give Away for Free'. Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to say I don't know what 'pif' means. I wouldn't think the idea's dead in the water yet, I'm actually warming to it...

    In regards to the re-evaluating thing, General Patton said "If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking". I like new ideas too...
