"Unrecommend?" Here's what Ben Franklin said in 1786 when he tried the feature on his OWN Web Site.


Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out. Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. And this "unrecommend" thing? What the HELL was I thinking?

2. When you are standing at the check-out line at the Campbell CA "Beveages & More"...
That quote is on the opposing wall, directly in your field of vision.

3. Ben looks a little pev-y in that pic.
'Course, I heard that was his reputation, so maybe I'm not all that surprised.
