Bud, please do understand something- it may be a little more than outside the box to think in such a way- But the thing is here, I know my chances, and I am taking them. I've made it clear to everyone involved that I know full and well what could happen, worse-case scenario-wise. I've also made it clear that they might not agree, understand, or see my positions.... But when I am successful, it will all be worth it. Nothing great ever came easily or surely.

Now you have made your point, that you disagree with my rationality of the situation. I appreciate your opinion- But please don't give me reason to come out with an "I told you so" a year or so down the road... Don't you just hate when people do that? :-)
