I guess. But, what is clear? Can a case be made for multiple accounts? I have multiple accounts. I only use the one and have had multiples for a variety of reasons that won’t send me to the slammer or purgatory. Mea Culpa? I guess…if you insist… (more…)

Hey, I didn’t say that. It is in the blog blurb about the Chasing Chris gang. There is an article by JB Harshaw on the site that has that idea or theme and tells it well. Go read this article and then come back. (more…)
