heheheh.... Yeah, something like that. If I put information out publicly
like that, just why in the world would I evade taxes? :)
Note, I never broke the law... Just skirted a grey area. Tax evasion is
much more black/white!

the first year I did it...I got audited. I didn't have any problems with the

that are raised.
