While I have no problem with the idea of applauding authors for their work, I
do have a problem with two things in your posting:

1. MOST important, it contained no signature giving a non-domain route to you.
My machine has no knowledge of 'marlin'. Thus I had to post this publicly
rather than as the private E-Mail I tried to make it.

2. ALL your message said was "You do good...", it contained nothing of real
value to anyone else here in this newsgroup. I get all warm and cuddly over
private E-Mails that thank me for my efforts. I suspect that other authors
are the same.

If you want to thank an author in public why not slide it in with a posting
of value to others? And if you really can't wait, PLEASE don't repost most of
the original article so you can add on a one line "You do good..." message.
A shorter message will cost AT&T (and others) money, but it will help those
of us that pay the freight to save up for our A2000's.
