I know you don't actually regard Cooper, et. al. this way -- In your more circumspect moments, you routinely make clear you understand they are paid well for a service they perform for their masters. No waste there! <br /><br />(That you sometimes let your emotions too strongly color your language is understandable, if perhaps unwise.
