WK - first of all, thanks for an entertaining post. Given that you rarely seem to take anything seriously, it was fun to read just for the entertainment value.
And if I can read between the lines a little, I think that's a very good point. All of this - TFP, the internet, the Web - is self-created entertainment. Why have I been hanging around TFP all day when I could have been working the deals on my desk today? Because frankly this is much more entertaining that prematurely pestering some underwriter about something that he's probably not going to be interested in anyway. There aren't any fires today, so I've spent a good portion of today screwing around here because it's much more interesting than rehashing loss history on a gravel hauler/asphalt contractor in North Dakota (which actually is the next thing in my pile). The only reason any of us are here is to be entertained by whatever threads interest us. Sometimes we learn something along the way, but that's almost always an accidental byproduct of the entertainment.
