The PDML is a place where friends meet, and new friends are made. Yes, we bicker a lot, but mostly that is all it is. Long ago I compared this list to a friendly neighborhood bar where there are a lot of different conversations going on at different tables. One can move to another table if one does not like that conversation, or sit down and join in if one does like it. Sometimes it gets hot, but mostly it is just friendly bickering. When something goes wrong in someone's life we tend to rally around with lots of support; after all, they are friends.
There is a reason so many of us have been coming here for years. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Vic Mortelmans wrote: > Hi, > > Often I've been surprised how strong human feelings can be expressed in > this group.
