Hee!  Fortunately, I never invested in any of Nortel's various
stock-related "opportunities"...

Hmmm... much better, me thinks, to drink heavily when stock prices are
at all-time highs.  Because soon after is when they come crashing down...
When times are troubled and stock prices are low, best is it then to
invest in those companies being offered at sharply discounted prices!
=8^)  (Just be sure to pick companies that have a fair shot at still
being around in a year or three...)

Still, I'll forward this on to Paul (who is not on the BLU list, and
who had many Nortel stock options and stock), as it will likely make
him wince.  ;-)

Oh, and thanks for thinking of us!  =8^)
