(Military speak is very rarely tidy when you speak of loss of life)  If the pay off is too great for the risk, go in guns blazin' and hope for the best, it can't be any worse than what you were planning in the first place.Wish I could be more helpful, but unfortunately - this is the BEST answer I could come up with.  Is it worth it?  It depends and that really is the question and the answer.</blockquote>
