Dan,
For what it's worth (I doubt much) - Nice ode to folks who only see static
quality and yet fail to see the DQ which creates it.
Hi David,
I do not believe it meant as such. I sat down last night with no real
thought as to writing anything. A while later I discovered the words on the
monitor. I hesitated to send them to the group; I did so since it appears
that is to whom the words are addressed. If anyone gets anything out of
them, that is fine. If not, that is fine too.
And please know your words always mean a lot to me even if I do not always
agree with them.
Thank you,
Dan
