Harvest comes around and we all harvest our crops and I notice that my yield is a lot smaller than yours, why is that? I'm sure I don't need to spell out the answer but as this is a word processor I guess I will have to - you put more effort than I did. Neil...you got it all wrong...starting with the above misguided analogy. You're way off the mark. Try this one...we both wish to build our own house. We spend an equal amount of money and buy the exact same materials. I have a job, family, friends, and other commitments. You, however, have no life. You spend all your time building your house while I do my other stuff and tease you by calling you a "powerbuilder with no life". Your house is done in a week. Mine gets done in two years. It's the exact same house as yours, looks the same and feels the same. It just took me longer to get it because I did other stuff as well. Fair? Yup. You powerbuilt yours so got it sooner...I did other stuff and got it later. Same dollar cost...same reward...just at a different pace. Just like a game.
