Blog Note

We have had a death in our family. I will be preoccupied for a couple of days; TOP will return on Friday.

(I will however be at loose ends in the Indianapolis airport at 6:45 this evening—would anyone like to join me there for dinner? You can respond with a comment if you're interested. Please leave a cell phone number. I won't publish it. Plan to bring a couple of prints if you can!)

Please be sure to check out the latest Featured Comments in the previous two posts; many of the comments have raised excellent points and (especially JG's curious experiences) shed light on the peculiar psychology affecting our rather odd, troublesome business.

And here's a fantastic decision tree to answer the question "should you work for free?" Thanks to Yoram for the link.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Mike. If you're ever kicking your heels in Auckland airport in New Zealand, happy to say Hi!

Our condolences to you and yours.

[Steve Mason]

I absolutely love the decision tree. It has too much truth to not take it seriously but just enough humor to make you read it all. We should all pay attention.

[Dave Karp]

Mike, I am sorry for your loss.

[Dave Sculthorpe]

Me too. Rubish isn't it.
