Replying to a message of WAYNE CHIRNSIDE to BOB ACKLEY:

 BA>> One of my favorite people, H.L. Mencken, had their number
 BA>> nearly a century ago:  "Nobody ever went broke
 BA>> underestimating the taste of the American people."

 WC> Yes I recall you using that on a number of occassions and

Note my corollary to the above: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating
the intelligence of the American people."

Another of my favorite quotes is from Phineas T. Barnum:  "There's a sucker
born every minute."
