[MR] comps

[Nikulai Ivanovich]

Liam,

I have a different pholosophy. I have never comped myself as autocrat. Early
on I had someone come to me saying that they were working hard that day and
were not getting to enjoy the event. I looked them right in the eye and said
"I am paying" - they smiled, thanked me and went on about their business.
