Well Said! (... and I read it with one eye closed and without the benefit of caffeine! <grin> )
No seriously, I second those sentiments! We are behind you Michael ... hmmmmm wondering if we should all pen letters to MM .... even though they lurk on the list, it might be beneficial for all of us to make our collective voices heard? I had a blast hanging out in the suite through the week, it was a wonderful experience, and it beat the heck out of hanging in the lobby...and it wasn't anything political. I don't know why they feel so threatened. It was someplace to go, meet fellow programmers, developers, business owners, future boyfriends (grin) .... read and study, plus I think we learned a heck of a lot as well, in addition to all the material we were covering at the conference. And let us not forget Bouncy Bouncy. It seems a bit silly to me ... wish someone from MM could explain it all ... Erika (with a *K*) Plunging boldly into the thick of corporate politics! Each lives it, not to many is it worth it; and fight it where you will, it is interesting. - somebody ----------------------------------------------------- Instant Messenger Access AIM: WebErika5 | Yahoo: WebErika | MSN: WebErika ----------------------------------------------------- Erika L.
