If I bought you for what you're worth and sold you for what you think > you're worth I'd be richer than Bill Gates! :-P Larry finally made it worth my while (because it would be sufficiently funny to embarrass him if my suspicions are true), so I did a little digging. Larry's business: Del Mar Data? It's website gives its address as: "Del Mar Data POB 1638 7671 La Brisa Road Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067" Only, as far as I could determine, there is no 7671 La Brisa Road. The numbers on La Brisa -- a purely high-rent residential street, only run from 17000 to about 17600; making it impossible for it to have been a typo either. So I poke around some more. The telephone number for Del Mar Data, is also listed as the home number of one Larry Whitaker, whose address happens to be listed as: "PO Box 1638 Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067-1638 (858) 759-7411" Now, how many "buy and sell you" kind of people do you know whose business and home numbers are the same? How many do you know who don't have an unlisted number? Interestingly, there is an "Avenida Brisa" which is located right at the Morgan Run Resort and Golf Club, but once again, the highest number that Google Maps knows about is 4099. And besides, the houses on that street aren't the kind a "buy and sell you" sort of guy would be living in. If I had to guess, I'd say that Larry lives in one of the 1500 - 2500 sq. ft. houses to be found on the Avenida Brisa, but lists his business address on La Brisa Road because those *are* the sorts of places a "buy and sell you kind of guy might want to live, and with any luck, he can convince anyone who checks into it that he's a "buy and sell you" kind of guy. Want more proof? What guy who can "buy and sell you" has as the only contact person listed for his business: his own name. My dad isn't really "buy and sell you rich"; at least, not unless earning something around very low seven figures a year from a business he owns 90% of makes you one, but if you look at <http://www.factorforms.com/> you don't see his name anywhere. Anyway, it just kind of struck me, that's all. <g> -- 'It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix.'

In an official database, I found a Larry Whittaker, who lives close to where Larry claims he does, with a HC Index of ~ 18. Larry claims that fellow is not him. Whatever.
