I agree Wulff. I can still remember as a child when I found out and I think we all are guilty of the Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and I'm sure that I missed a few. I told my parents that they lied to me. This probably isn't in the same category as keeping your word; but, it's still a lie.

Wisdom is knowing the right path to take.

Integrity is keeping our word and taking that path.

Do you remember when your hand shake was your word?

Excellent post Plum. When I first started as a Forester, a handshake was all it took to make a contract between myself and the logger. Then, over the years, corporate bean counters had to stick their untrusting nose into it and by the time I retired that same contract between myself and the same logger was 15 pages in triplicate.

Fraid so Butch.

Awhile back on some thread two guys told me I should put a disclaimer on some posting Troy and I were doing. They read a post and not all the postings and assumed the worse.

Got to read them all folks before opening mouth and inserting foot.
