After my company hears about this, I may not have to worry about whose
opnions these are.  Meanwhile, I'll claim them as my own.  I once
brought home a lost puppy when I was a kid.  I also used to collect
frogs and spiders and all sorts of things that didn't have a home
so one more opinion can't hurt, can it?
