[AT] On Topic: to be or not to be

[Ken Knierim]

I too got caught in the Walt mess, but going back further my first post to
this list was shredded by a fella by the name of Ray Crispens. These things
happen; don't let it stop you from being who you are. There have been and
are quite a number of really great people on this list and I've had the
pleasure of meeting several of them personally. I've even made the trek to
the Portland show in Indiana... a great time and very good bunch to spend
time with.

There will be differences of opinion and there may be a few sketchy
characters (perhaps myself included) but you get that in real life too. I
sure have learned a lot on this list.

As I tell my son (who's 5), it's nice to play in this sandbox. Folks here
are pretty good about sharing and I would like to see you more involved
again myself too.
