I just want to take a second and make note of something. All through the year we run each other down and build each other up on this site. We talk about different things, and make, to ourselves, obvious answers to obscure questions. But we never stop....ever! I just wanted to stop for a second and offer up this little Pause. I am sorry if I flamed you this year, I never mean harm only to point out that I am right ( okay not always =) ) I also thank everyone for taking the time; it makes this place useful. I don't want direct replies but I would like to offer up this space to let everyone stop and think about the big picture. It does not matter what your race color or creed is, nor what you are inclined to celebrate this season, you are human and that is enough. I am sorry I know this is a technical forum and I bash people daily here but I also am a thinking being as are the rest of you and I know that there are things that everyone has to say. I offer no fear here, I will notjudge anyone (not on this thread anyway) I just think there should be a spot out here that we can all for one day or so get along and not stir the pot. Maybe you all agree, maybe not but I at least want to say thanks to everyone who helps and to all the forum posters Happy Holidays!

I will now hop off my soap box for 24 hours =)

(-; ditto

I wish I could say that I did not intenionnaly mean to bash people who were not deserving. But they did, and I did, and oh well; twas a happy year in bashland.

But...I have a heart (at least that's what the doctor's tell me; i don'tbuy it) and extend
the holiday cheer.

Besides, I would not be me if I was not me.

Well, another year draws to a close, another project looms in the distance, and I can feel a system crash on the horizon, but that is all next years fun.

Cheers to anyone who helped me, and didn't blow up my suggestions in the forums, for those who did, I've got broad shoulders, just keep bringin' it on !!

Hope that you all have a good christmas break, and see you all back on here on the 26th ......

Have a Very Merry "whatever you are celebrating at this time of year."

As someone who tries to be a generalist in many things and also tries to apply the "Golden Rule" to how I interact with others, I hope that the upcoming year is a good one forall who frequent this site.

Have a good one!

(P.S. The 'Golden Rule' I'm talking about is NOT the one that begins "He who has the gold...". And it isn't strictly a Judeo-Christian rule either.)
