NJ, I agree...giving back is important to me, as well...I live by the notion of noblesse oblige, even when giving back is done more by time and sweat equity than a big check. It was your generosity of spirit towards a fellow poster, and not your charitable giving that caught my eye the most :)
As for the second comment...you should know me well enough to know I don't make those kinds of predictions...my crystal all has been broken for some time now! Suffice it to say that I would be more pleased with Diamond's long time assessment than your far lower number...but pleased nonetheless that equity wasn't tossed on the trash heap.
I'll be in Vegas, raising a glass either way!
