Thanks for your kind words Jay. But I should point out I don't have a phD. I
had too many kids to go that far. But I've been fortunate that the
University has paid me to act like I have one for 20 years. You don't have
to call me "Dr. Bill", but don't call me "Mr. Bill" either. I should've sued
SNL when I had the chance!
