Now, you see. That's interesting, because I don't have any trouble imagining Paul say no, even to someone who has been giving him money. It has to do with the nature of the person. That's been one of the hallmarks of the Internet, the personal integrity of those put into positions of responsibility.
:-). I guess you can see that David and I have worked together. Twice he has been my indirect supervisor, and as it turns out he never heard me say "no" but he has heard me say "f*** o** and d** m*****f*****", and I dare say that Network Solutions has heard even choicer words when they screw up. Giving me money is no guarantee of polite treatment. I do the right thing, money or no money. The funny thing is, people keep giving me money anyway.
