Re: [9fans] Another observation
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I did not get a chance to elaborate when I first wrote this. Here goes: I'm noticing that consumer appliances (calbe/FIOS boxes), handhelds (Blackberries), and even some computers have managed to mush together things that may be a convenience but don't belong. I noticed this when Verizon announced that their FIOS TV was going to have more widgets. Should TV have widgets? Wasn't the channel and pay-per-view enough? You can argue that the iPhone and competitors are not just phones, but what about the other phones that don't compete with them? Why do they have stuff like email, game playing (which I do like -- a lot), IM, etc.? (I don't write text messages.)

There are those that say too many cooks spoil the broth. This isn't our problem. Our problem is that we have a kitchen full of food critics attempting to direct the cooks. -eric

Re: [9fans] An Observation
Although I cannot lay an egg, I am a very good judge of omelettes. They say George Bernard Shaw said it. (No, I'm not arrogant enough to consider myself the egg, the omelette, the cook, or the critic. I'm the hungry soul looking into the restaurant from behind the glass walls.)

why are you staying, all that time, when your cousin is chef and gets a great award every other year and works in the restaurant just the other side of the road?
