Like the story about an American tourist in London who asks the policeman on duty outside one of the big offices in Whitehall

"How many people work in there"?

"About 10% of them" replies the policeman.

Far too quick and merciful for any sort of "Revenue Man"

It is never too early to start groveling for our next fix. ;)
I do have mixed views. I worry that feeding our collective vice keeps RFC from writing the multiple stories we are all jonesing for but darn it, I still maintain my inner spoiled brat that wants what I want when I want it.
I have full faith that reading our predictions keeps a smile on his face which I hope makes the creative process work a little better. I know that I am educated by the many different tidbits of knowledge that these forums provide.

Nope, I heard from a fly-on-the-wall that he is sitting with his CPA and lawyers to figure out a last-minute K-1 from the Haven-Torch-Erewhon MLP showing a BitCredit profit from a 3 year old restatement generating a NOL passive loss. The problem is the the GAAP rules created 5 different results, depending upon which 'expert' RFC consults. The Infernal Revenue's phone line repeatedly goes dead after waiting 'on-hold' for 3 hours with "It's a Small World" music playing, over and over again.

So, it may be awhile for him to get free to write more fiction. :?

April 18 was our last fix. That's roughly enough time to go into serious withdrawl.

So, oh grand and mighty one,

"Can we have another?" :D

Tootall,

Here's hoping that the great RFC listens to you and answers our prayers.
