That is just great. I immediately put the improved page on the web site.
You have no idea how pleased I am (as will be the readers). (02)
I am afraid that my own writing looks a little like the Bush speech
below your signature. I am talking about good journalism and do so in an
inferior example of writing. Ah well, I can only row with the oars I
have and that's one reason I am looking for a better boatman with better
oars. (03)
Thanks again, (04)
