Wow, Wirt got profound again (:)).  Well, Wirt if you get to
Heaven, I guess
you'll be off this list.  Oh well.  But seriously, the quote is
just BS and
nothing more.  The "consultant" was an ignoramus who felt he ahd
to say
something.

I pity anyone who takes the advice of another blindly - lawyers,
doctors,
accountants, consultants or whatever.  We are the masters of our
own
fate, if we only realize it.

How's that for a philosophy?
