Lanny,
	I used to think that lawyers were the worst professionals to have for
clients.  Then I started dealing with doctors & dentists.  I've never seen
any other professionals SO CHEAP about their businesses as dentists.  I've
never dealt with psychiatrists, but the thought is frightening (and makes
me paranoid!).

	Paranoid?  is that what they're saying about me?!
