Hello Jay, Clint, Jeff and all subscribers, I've never met Jay, Clint, or Jeff but I've had good correspondence with them for a good while now. They have always done what they could to help me with any problems that I ever addressed to them. As I stated to Jay recently I'm going to retire and get away from electronics very soon. However, I believe in what these men are doing and I'm going to try to spend a little bit of my time in helping them in their efforts if they want me to. I'm no expert by any estimation at web page work but I believe these men are interested in combining their efforts, making references to each other's works. If they are, then I am willing to help out any way that I can with whatever time I can come up with in helping. Ah, I've seen perhaps a very few times when I thought one of them got bent out of shape just a little bit but I also understand the problems of the consumer electronics technician and I know that any email list is going to have messages that bug other people at times - IMO we need to learn to overlook some things which we see. For instance - IMO we are not here to discuss the weather or carry on a bunch of junk but yet when I see such I know that I can easily delete it and realize that soon the listowners are going to get enough of it and complain about it and straighten it out. Patience - that's what we need sometimes in dealing with each other IMO. So, any of you 3 men - just let me know what you think I'd be worth something to you with your work and I'll consider it and consider how much time I'll feel comfortable with in helping you out. I'm with you gentlemen. MGB, Regie p.s. Yes I believe in God - He's the one hopefully who is going to get the remainder of my time in life (I hope). I've wasted most of it all till now. Maybe there's some good things that can come out of getting old :) - the only other thing I know is that I don't have to have my picture put on my stupid drivers license :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "TechAssist Admin." <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 4:51 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: unsubscribe :( > > Calvin, you misunderstood Jay, we in NO WAY want anyone to > leave!!
