My thoughts on the matter are
1.) Paulson you have a reputation, its gonna stick with you pretty much, I think most people only mention it as a joke, I'm sure I've kidded some, but thats all it was.
2.) Some of you guys are a little rough on the guy, he isnt the same paulson that signed up so give him a little slack.
If you feel you need some time off, take it. But definately come back and dont spend much time away, you're just as much of a contributor in my eyes as russ, viper, dennil, ww, etc.
