I agree completely. Has Michael spawned any offspring? If so, I think he might understand the joy that Dan and John feel. After all, it they raise their kids properly, they will grow up to be sick Amiga 2,000,000 (the Amiga model number of thier day) programmers like the rest of us. There is a lot of fluff in this newsgroup. I don't consider announcements like this as fluff. I like to think of this newgroup as a community (of friends.) Michael has had a chance to reconsider his statements and is feeling kinda sorry, so it sounds like he is a friend too. > >Congratulations, Dan, John Toebes XVII, et. al.
