It was a well crafted piece of writing to me - hope you do much more. We're only truly tested in facing adversity.

I wont reread your account again now but, from memory, it seemed though that some possibilities in your remaining life will be cut off because you still have not resolved what happened back then. I realise i am being very invasive here, but this is my response to your story. Mi vida Dinámica was very difficult for me to put key by key to screen.

Yes, we are all privileged to have the time and resources to be in this forum, so we have a duty to enjoy it to the fulI! I dont know you Dan so i am not pretending at any concern - i just hope my response hasnt only irritated you - that certainly was not my intention but i do hope that my, in retrospect, overly direct reply was still useful in some way. -KO Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
