Yup. But ya know what they say – there is no such thing as bad press… and we have actually gotten some strong support, even with our current mess.
I was reading all the press releases and your rebuttal on slahsdot. Now I understand why you have been in a bad mood (your words).
Yup… and that bad mood lasted for a few months. I am really snapping out of it now. I’ve got a plan, and it’s working, so I feel much better. Those Slashdotters are gonna slam anything with hope and a vision of the future… I don’t really care about them. However, I was strongly surprised when we got some support from a few of them. So, I guess that means ‘ya never know’… something good might come from it, after all.
I have to say that I am not suprised, but I am disappointed. Because I know how much you want this.
I want this more than I have ever wanted anything before. And I have no doubt that I am on the right path. So, don’t worry about it. I don’t.
But I’m not counting you out.
I know. It is a cliché, but you really do learn who your friends are, when things are going wrong. Thanks for the continued support. I know I can count on you.
Like I said a few conversations back your resourceful and will find a way through it.
I always do…
If you need to talk you know the number.
Endless phone tag… will keep trying.
I might not be the <snip, for personal reasons> but I’m a good listener.
<snip>… As for being a good listener, you are one of the few people I can talk to for an hour… <snip> So ya, I know you are a good listener, but you also have something interesting to SAY, too.
Take care. Mjl

Well, I have to say you are the shot heard around the world.
Reminds of the plans that NASA had in the early 60s to test Gemini by launching a modified capsule that would hold five cattle.
Yep – it would have been the herd shot ’round the world.
