Excuse me, Rolf. Real friends (blood brothers so to speak) don't play that way unless they are the type to corrupt themselves totally with money. Your cynical assumption that this is a given is kind of sick, I think. I'm sure GK said to the boys, "Look, guys. Best of luck to you, but excuse me while I beat the snot out of this bucket of chips, okay? That's why you pay me. That's why I do it for you cheap, since we are buds. You want to know how good/bad this bowl of spaghetti code is? I'll show you exactly how. Agreed? Okay where do I sign." Matt >Or do you expect them to pay for Waterloo?
