You are welcome.

I have no doubt that some Freepers would do just what they say but I also remember another lesson from Greek history.

Demosthenes who was a great orator almost single handedly persuaded the Athenians to stand and fight against Philip of Macedonia. His speeches were known as Philippics.

Unfortunately at the Battle of Chaeronea, Demosthenes was one of the first ones to run.

I like internet hyperbole as much as anyone but it’s meant to be a warning not a plan. There are so many things that can be done to achieve successes and minimize losses. For instance, once your house has been ‘cleared’ you can let 10 or 20 others temporarily store their goodies there until their homes are ‘cleared.’ Nothing has to be made easy for them.
