There are plenty of people on this list who at one time or another worked at jobs that were the equivalent of cleaning toilets, or had parents or grandparents who did. Just who the hell do you think you are, Anthony, to make this kind of statement. Boy, was Kyle on the mark when he pointed out that there are people who think that they are somehow "special" because they own Leicas. B. D.
