Theos-Talk Archives (January 2003 Message tt00120)

MR SHERMAN (I am not shouting either),

FROM THE DAY I CAN REMEMBER COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN IN MY
LIFE. HOWEVER THIS PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY IS SO DYNAMIC
THAT EVEN HAVING EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE WITH IT I STILL
GET CAUGHT OUT. IT IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. 

LIKEWISE, WHEN I HAVE CLICKED ON A LINK, PARTICULARLY
TO A YAHOOGROUPS LINK, ALL SORTS OF WEIRD STUFF
HAPPENS. IDs POP UP, PASSWORDS, EMAIL ADDRESSES ETC
ETC. REMEMBER, THIS WHOLE INTERNET THING IS COMPLETELY
NEW TO HUMANITY AND WE ARE ALL STILL TRYING TO LEARN
HOW IT WORKS. FROM WHAT I PERSONALLY HAVE GATHERED
YOU, MR SHERMAN, ARE DEEPLY RESPECTED HERE ON THIS
LIST AND ELSEWHERE. INITIAL CONFUSION ASIDE, I NO
DOUBT SPEAK FOR MOST (NOT ALL OF COURSE) IN SAYING
THAT YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED HERE ON
THEOS-TALK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE.

KIND REGARDS,
MIC FORSTER
