Hello Victor:

I continue to admire your persistence, and now it seems that of your
partner, to fully engage in the process of bringing your considerable
talent and seemingly boundless energy to making it possible for "very
single human being to freely share in the sum of all knowledge."

It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from author James Baldwin:
"Those who say it can' be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.


Keep on keepin' on!

Amy
