   SD>Hello Daryl,   
      
   Hi, Sean...   
      
   SD>There's plenty of lids in this side of the woods too.   
      
     So, I've seen.   
      
   SD>I didn't know Tim was a ham.  I should start asking people...   
      
     He lives in Mayflower, about 25 miles northwest of Little Rock. He's   
   just southeast of Conway.   
      
   SD>This was a problem on several points: I wasn't told about potential issues I   
   SD>could have corrected nearly immediately; the evident lack of attention given   
   SD>to the fact that I don't run Linuxnet; being accused of harassment when I   
   SD>brought this up; and just being a general dumbass.   
      
     That's Gert Kofoed Andersen's network...as are PascalNet, JustaXNet,   
   and SysopTech Net, among others.   
      
   SD>"I think I'm a great fit for Dumas and Dumas!"   
      
     Reminds me of a joke where the guy went to the office to address the   
   new CEO, and thought his name was pronounced "dumb ass", but it was "doo   
   mah" (French). When the secretary walked in, and addressed him by his   
   proper name, this guy slithered out, and the CEO said "What a dumb   
   ass"!!    
      
   SD>*eyeroll*   
      
     That's about the only form of exercise that some seem to get. :P   
      
   SD>I brought this up in here to prove that my attitude problem towards certain   
   SD>people is generally warranted.  I don't try to let a hobby give me a case of   
   SD>the fantods anymore but every once in a while a special case pops up.   
      
     I quit doing the weather nets on ham radio, because after 28 years, I   
   got burned out. I can give further details in netmail if you want.   
      
   SD>It's done and over with now.  For now.  There will be someone else coming   
   SD>along one of these days. :D   
      
     Probably sooner than you think.   
      
   SD>Speaking of BBS, I switched my system back to MBSE.  I unfortunately had a l   
   SD>of issues with the ArcaOS system.  I never got around to recommissioning the   
   SD>Linux server and I'm glad I didn't now.  Score a point for procrastination   
   SD>caused by the lack of a hand.   
      
     I know you're still recovering from that wreck...hope you get better   
   soon.   
      
   SD>Speaking of hand, it looks like the flexor tendon in my right pinky is shot.   
   SD>I can move the pinky enough to use it for typing but I can't straighten the   
   SD>finger out.  On April 22 I am seeing a hand surgeon about the possibility of   
   SD>surgery to fix the pinky or if we should just let it be.  Not being in great   
   SD>shape might just cause the surgery to cause more issues than it would fix.   
      
     Good luck with that.   
      
   SD>But I am out of the hand brace and am using "buddystrips" (Velcro pieces wit   
   SD>a special anti-sweat fabric on one side) to keep the pinky attached to my ri   
   SD>finger on the same hand.   
      
     That's some good news.   
      
   SD>While not feeling like a malcontent, I am thankful to be alive and worry abo   
   SD>silly things.  The alternative could be worse...   
      
     You got that right. Life's too short to let the small stuff bother   
   you.   
      
   Daryl
