Lanman is the dude.. For myself I would like to apologise for my participation in that thread at all. I write software so I took it too personal is all.
Gene, we all will and do attempt to help people on this list whenever we can, regardless of the OT stuff that apears here as well. I'd help more myself, but every time i go to, I still have 100 emails from the list to read and discover that person in need has already been answered several times and no longer requires my help.. :-) I do occasionally get their first though.. and when I do, I secretly flip Stephen the bird :-) Welcome to the list, apologies for my bad behaviour and I hope you have a long and productive relationship with the us.... And your all welcome to go out on the boat with me any time..its only small, so you'll have to do it in groups.. but its great fun and is the sole reason I have yet to have a brain embolism... (you'll have to bring your own alcohol though :-) regards Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lanman Sent: Wednesday, 23 July 2003 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Help me out I'm with Stephen on this one Gene! Welcome and well said, Sir Knight! Get a good grip , and hang on for a hell of a ride! In the past, you may have heard such expressions as "Trust me! I'm from the government. I'm here to help"! You probably laughed about such things, ( as did we! ), but here, when the list members aren't flaming Microsoft, SCO, or each other (Grin! Grin!) they're usually a bunch of warm-hearted, generous, humorous, and helpful individuals. Especially helpful! For the most part they're a good bunch. Sorry you had to join up in the middle of a nasty thread. It's just that some of the list members are grouchy because they've been forced to use Microsoft stuff at work. I myself have been on this list for far too long, but even so, I've learned a huge amount of important things. For Instance, Stephen Kuhn needs to get some newer ties (!?), Frankie has a boat and likes to drink whenever he takes it out on the water ( I'm very jealous about that by the way!), Femme Fatale and Anne both seem to have their heads screwed on real good, and often provide maturity whenever the gang starts a ruckus ( Man! Talk about scoring brownie points with the "Babes" ! ), and occasionally we even talk about Linux! Did I mention that they also have a great sense of humour? Seriously, though,...Welcome to "Our Gang", and I for one hope you stick around long enough to learn everything you can about Linux. That way , the rest of us can hop on a plane, and drop in on Stephen and Frankie, where we'll all go boating, drinking, and other "stuff", knowing that you'll be here to take up the slack! So, where's everyone else? C'Mon people! Jump in here and say Hi to Gene!
