Well I admit that I like that idea of a simple
line in the Times very much.
I think that he will do that but you must understand
that I didn't want that entire discussion, of Rich
not doing his work, to start again because he is
doing his work but maybe he doesn't have much time
or another good reason but I don't see the point
in repeating each time how much money he makes and
that he works too slow etc...

It is not because we pay 2,50$ each week that we can
judge if he is doing a good or a bad job.

But I'd rather not see this discussion continued so
I will stop right here
