not supporting my theory.

Truthfully, I have not read any of the articles that you mentioned. My "devil's advocate" comment was made based on my personal observations and feelings about all of the things I've heard, seen, and read about Borland. I, too, had dealings with Borland and I have an opinion of him. If you or anyone else has "factual" documentary evidence that would lead me to change my opinion, I would love to see it.

Please understand that I have not and will not ever say that any or all of the 3 gentlemen you mentioned are propagators of, as I have labeled it, the Borland yarn, and are saying what they are saying for personal gain. At this point I have an opinion that has not been refuted, yet! Thanks for your note. Chuck.

P.S. Funny you should mention "midwest cold". Not an hour ago a warning came across my TV screen announcing an overnight wind chill warning of minus 25 degrees. OUCH!! Where's the dog?!
