Thank you Larry, I am really happy to be here ; )

I really appreciate you sharing your viewpoint and experiences. I too
use Apple's own mail program so I think I might just set up a rule to
get rid of Poutine. I have funny feeling I might actually like it.

Your comments about Ferdi are interesting, there are always two sides
to every story. I for one don't judge people, I will make up my own
mind if i have any dealings with him. He does have a lot of excellent
feedback on eBay and you are in the vast majority that has been happy

But that is their discussion/war/battle/conflict call it what you will.

I hope to stay on the list but I am afraid i may have pissed off a few
people, and might get the cold shoulder. But you have reached out and
said hello, so I will definitely stay, thank you.

I will keep my mouth closed, keep reading and pitch in when I can.
Perhaps I have should have done that before, it just that I work in an
industry where we constantly try to make things better. Not because
things are bad, but because they could be better, for EVERYONE.

I am really glad you wrote, I can't tell you how much it means to me.

Here's to the future, may it be bright and green!
