Yeah - you suck.

Congratulations - I'm glad to see you're hiring, and I'm glad you found a gem. Continued good fortune to you both. JP

I thought about your reply and you're right. You can solve a problem with the purchase of some new equipment, but that is limited to that particular problem. Adding a talent, can open up a whole myriad of new avenues, especially when you factor in access to a sounding board. I can think out loud, but nobody answers. This guy says: "Yup, you're idea would work, but have you thought of.......?"

You bet I do....*VBG*

Thank you, Jay. I appreciate that.

I can imagine the relief the guy must be feeling that he has been offered a job, especially a job where he will earn your respect. You have done a GOOD THING!

Yes, you suck big time.

You were also in the right place at he right time to help out another human being and in the process, help yourself a bunch.

As I said, you suck but you're a helluva guy.

Bet your new hire is feeling pretty good too!
