Nice one! I can see we're going through the classic learning curve! Let a thousand flowers bloom!

you seem like a nice-enough fellow, don. so why are all those people over at d.p. throwing rocks at you? ;+) *** lee said:

who are all these people? hey lee, you left out dkretz. who has done more than anyone, including rfrank. don was instrumental in producing dp-canada. i have not talked about dp-canada because i was banned from it before it even started by one of the crazy people involved with it. but it seems to be limping along just fine, as far as i know, so if anyone wants to start a site, i'd advise you to look at dp-canada. or talk to don. no one has come nearly as close to me in inspiring the d.p. rock-throwers as don; he must be doing something right.
