Ed would still gladly have a beer with anyone, I'm certain of that. He's a big enough man to put aside th politics and religion and still enjoy a beer with a fellow developer. Remember that his wife and kids are back in NY yet, and that's absolutely rough. Been there, done that, still going through the shitty divorce with my crazy not-soon-enough-ex. What a freakin' nightmare that has been. Cut him some slack. He's opinionated for sure, but that's fine. The difference between him and others is that he doesn't attack viciously and childishly on a personal level....at least that's not how I see it. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
