At least in my book -

" NO! Why do you want to do that? Do you just have a need to be loved?"

Attributed to Norman Oklahoma and reflects my exact sentiments on giving away old survey plats, field notes and files. Professional courtesy is one thing, but to just be taken advantage of is another.

Don Rumsfeld could have been talking about surveying:

"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know.
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know".

It was spot on.

Kinda reminded me of Gunny Hartman (R. Lee Ermie: Full Metal Jacket).."What's the matter with you? Didn't Mommy and Daddy give you enough love?!"
