funny enough. This was Rick, one year ago to MF:

Well, I don't know if Rick had found the answer. I'd suggest:
"Good is a noun, Better is a verb".
That's all, folks!

p.s.
No it was not all. Searching the archives I read that once Rich Pretti wrote to MF (Aug '99) more or less the same....:
"Good is a noun, Best is a verb".
