New project....but where to start??

[David White <whitey.david@xxxxxxxxx>]

T Crook & DivotDug,

I'm offering my sincerest apology and hope you forgive me for that
very inappropriate post. It was indeed very snide, childish and quite
uncharacteristic of me. I have no excuse for that behavior, the only
reason I can offer is that I quit smoking today. Like I said, not an
excuse, just what I came up for a reason. We are all professionals,
and more importantly we are all human beings deserving each others
love and respect. The golden rule. So thank you for standing up for
one another and pointing this out to me. I will find another, healthy
outlet, for the nicotine withdrawal.

Dave
