Re: Realizing real values (OT) Paul

Thanks for that. I'm close to losing a family member. In spite of the difficulties, those words set it out so well.

I won't say "Merry Christmas" but I will say....best to you and yours and thanks for all the good stuff you post here.

Enjoy the season, and thank you. You sort of annoy me sometimes on the board which is no secret.... but overall? You're the real deal and I appreciate you, very much.

My best regards and I hope you thrive in 2007.
