And some people might find it pleasant and fulfilling to reduce the number
of hours they play VP - and get out and start a life, maybe even doing some
volunteer work to make this world a better place to live in. Wow- what a
concept!!!!!
Went the other way. Used to do a lot of volunteer work. Now almost all that
time has gone to gaming or scheming how to get another .01% edge. Sorry, the
world was going to the dogs anyway... 
Also need a definition of "volunteer work".
1. Is that like doing something where you get no pay? If so, then everybody
here qualifies at some time or another.
2. Is it doing something where you have no expectation of pay? A lot of us
would still qualify as we know we're doomed to beyond - 3 sigma anyway.
3. Is it doing something where you get no pay but you did something good?
Losing enough to buy the cruise qualifies.
4. Is it doing something where you get no pay but you did something good for
the benefit of other than yourself or immediate family? I'm stumped. Can
anyone think of an example which can be reconciled with being a reeeaaal VP
player? Handing out used bars of soap to homeless does not count.
Sorry, Jean. Glenn just wanted to have some fun. Will keep him busy searching
dumpsters for match plays. Hmmm, if we put a few in Sunday's collection plate
that might be good for definition 4.... NO EXPIRED ONES, GLENN!!!
