That's half the crux. I get the distinct impression that Bob thinks all
runners are pond scum, low-lives, street trash and rank amatuers. He
seems to think that there are no professionals in the shadow business,
that they are all lying, thieving criminals. That a very limit view of a
very diverse group. Obviously *some* runners fit into that category, but
there are plenty who don't.
