    Dick move, Allen. After laying off employees, buying a massive house. Shades of "Roger & Me."

    No more than your "Dick" post. You are usually very grounded, but this one can't pass without comment. Who are you to tell Paul Allen what he can do with his personal holdings. Layoffs are business and his purchase was a personal expenditure. I, without question, have a greater percentage of my personal wealth wrapped up in a little cabin in Central Oregon than Paul has in his beach house and I closed down a business in April having to lay off six people. The business was not profitable, in fact it was a net liability, and I could not justify the payroll expenditure for no return.

    Sorry to have annoyed you, I was simply playing up the "Paul is evil" angle. I would have attached a smiley, but they're too crude when you're doing jokes with a fine scalpel. When I'm rendering a serious opinion, I don't use terms like "dick move." But I can understand how it wouldn't be clear I was kidding.
