All, Finger check.
This was supposed to be a private reply to Rick. I know there are people on this list with some employment challenges, and please don't think this was smart-ass comment meant to offend anyone. It was a sincere response. My comment was genuine and I'm looking forward to enjoying life in Northern California. Anyway, now you all know I'm coming I look forward to meeting those of you living around San Jose. I'm sure I'll find some of you at the local CMG and Share meetings. I may pass up on the spammer though...
