My name is Richard, and the only chance you would ever have had of
being introduced to me would have been at the Beloit, Wisconsin
airport. That chance is gone and will never be available. I'd give
you my last name, but there are five in the state with the same first
and last name. You might make sure you get the right one.
(Hint: if they're at the airport, it ain't me.) You'll just have to
avoid everyone named Richard.

I would encourage you to do that but
regardless of what you do, you'll not be happy because someone didn't
kiss your ass.

Nope, sorry, not the way it is. I rather think my best moment,
after being offered a "free ride" in the Lark was waiting until the
plane was off with a customer, nobody else on the field, then getting
in my truck and leaving. Right after that, I think refusing a flight
in the Grop 103SL. I was supposed to be paying for a flight in a
2-33, and that's what I wanted. (Last summer, never happened, even
though I was on the schedule a couple of days, and was there.)
Nothing is free, and I'm not going to be the one that's carrying debt.

If it's any consolation to you, March 9 will be the end of the billing
period for sbcglobal, and I called in the cancellation this afternoon.
With service becoming worse and worse, and the cost going up, I don't
see myself even looking for another ISP.
