such scathing abuse to more worthy targets.>><BR>

Hear, hear. Richie had a great career and even appeared in more than his share of "Scrooge-like" adventures. I write a column on Richie for the fanzine <U>The Harveyville Fun Times!</U> (THFT) and have been writing about Richie's adventurous past for a number of years. Barks-level it wasn't, but it was certainly worthy of respect.<BR>
