Dear colleagues:

Due to some unfortunate developments that transpired this afternoon, I have begun to see the error of my ways and thus would like to take this opportunity to set the record straight. Simply put, I have grossly underestimated the intelligence, hard work and passion of the many young lawyers who contribute to this vibrant forum. Notwithstanding my prior expressions to the contrary, you are each to be commended and, more importantly, justly rewarded for your devotion to your profession. Huzzah to all!.

Yours sincerely,
Former Partner Emeritus

These deferrals are, in many cases, extremely unfair to hardworking young lawyers.

Dear friends and colleagues:

I would like to formally retract my previous post #49 above. My sincere apologies for the vulgarisms. A recent and sudden change in my circumstances has caused me to view Mr. Safer's actions in an entirely new light. Huzzah Mr. Safer!

Sincerely,
Former Partner Emeritus

I don't know what kind of economic forecasters they have over at Robinson, but where I come from an upwards-shooting Dow means a recession is over. It has been over a month since we hit bear market lows and the Dow 's resiliency has established that this isn't a flash in the pan bear market run, but the start of a new boom. History will not look kindly on Robinson here. One can only hope that other firms have more sense.
