I echo your sentiments entirely George.
This Forum is not just solely about the software you have created. It has become a place where our members can participate in many, many ways, discussing unrelated topics and thereby getting to know each other better and forging new friendships.
We have all been through adversity in one form or another, and in my experience of this Forum we have all rallied together to give support and encouragement.
We appreciate that not everyone is comfortable about getting involved with a Forum. I was like that at one time, but when I first purchased one of George's piece of software he made immediate personal contact. It was this little gesture that persuaded Kathy and I to participate - and we've never looked back since.
It would be really nice for more of our members to take the plunge and come in, even to just say hello. It could just be that that first little step may lead to a whole new experience.
That is our hope anyway. So, give it a try and see what happens. You won't regret it.
Laurie.
