I appreciate the kind words of encouragement in this time of
belligerence. It
is times like this when I can say I am truly proud to be a member of this
fine community. I am so delighted that you hold my beliefs so high that you
would categorize myself with the brilliant individuals at Sun.
It will be a bit disappointing though, for me to mention that this is
not
entirely an idea of Sun's. I would have to take credit for hatching this
idea, as well as recently stirring it. For as much as I am delighted that you
would like to categorize me with the hard working Sun employees, I can not
take proper recognition for that. I am not a Sun employee, and as I am a bit
lacking in some areas, I probably will not be joining their fine team anytime
soon.
Perhaps it's not the area under the mask that gets burned in your
reference,
it is the area around the mask. Normally when tanning, the area with the most
heat would be around the mask itself. I am not sure why but I have often seen
people using dark colored masks when tanning. I could not stress the
importance of a light colored mask, or hat when sunbathing enough.
This is not about Sun wanting a new website for Project Indiana, and
this is
not about Sun trying to lube your wonderful-self up to give you the shaft.
This is about community members trying to find a way to cooperate and ensure
that the future members of our community get a better appreciation for what
we do then you have expressed in your last reply. I do appreciate all the
kind words you have mentioned, and I hope that sometime we can sit down for a
bite to eat.
Looking forward to our next meeting,
