Hello Roy.

 RW> The difference is what? You cheat them out of their pay?

On can not cheat someone out of something if the debt associated with the
something did not exist in the first place.

No, I don't cheat them out of their pay, I don't pay them becuase I never owned them.

 RW>>>  It's not how much you have, it's how you use it that counts.

 MvdV>> well, of course if you don't know how to handle the equipment

 RW> Yeah, but the equipment doesn't have to be 'big', which is what this
 RW> conversation started over.

What started this conversation is "size don't count". Try to
fasten an M8 bolt with a 3 mm wrench and see how wrong that is.

 MvdV>> OTOH, even Schumacher will not win the Formula 1 in a VW beetle.

 RW> He could, depending on the circumstances.

Only if all the others were in a VW beetle too. But then it would not be an
F1 race would it?
