Thanks, I'm happy that the product line I developed will continue and
was sought after by three companies! I didn't get filthy rich but I can
retire fairly comfortably. I've been looking to retire for a few years
now.

Somehow, that doesn't sound like "running it into the ground".

I'm still trying to turn my business into something more than a gilt
frame around me, so that when I retire I'll have something to sell that's
worth spit.

So -- congratulations from me, too, and feel free to brush off any
criticism you get.

("Brush." Get it? Yuk yuk yuk.)


I guess Tom's success has made that Wanquer fellow "bristle" with envy......
