Hey Curtis
I want to apologize for the rantings of an old man last nite. We each have
our own method of approaching this stuff -- and I for one have alwasy
believed that I shouldn't preach to others. Lecturing/Preaching or whatever
has been my forte for many years -- teaching both goggle-eyed law students,
weary lawyers, or newly-appointed judges. So it's hard for me to break the
mold.
I'm trying desparately to get out of my lawyer suit (Like Clark Kent) and
get properly fitted for my techie suit!! So again pardon me for any
offensive words or thoughts I might have inadvertantly conveyed last nite.
Thanks for the input -- I really do appreciate it.
