T, the line of reasoning you take with regards to all things Carl seems to me both irrational and injurious to yourself. With regards to the "Mad Dog up and down all day net worth scenario", that equates to a nice buckwheat cake sizzling on a hot griddle, when those last few bubbles at the edge rise and pop, the cake is saying "I'm Ready". Showing willingness to scrap the pay formulas of the past 60 years tells me when the company looks my peers like yourself in the eye, they think, "He's ready".
