I could not help but post! Like getting the reports from several
witnesses concerning the same accident we see the education, experience
*and bias* among the giants in our industry concerning some important
(at least to me) topics and I'm loving it! CDP hasn't been this fun for
a while so I must pause for a sec to thank you all! I'm serious. This
is *not* a sarcastic post.

In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, there are several
threads going on now that have kept me on the edge of my seat for days
now. The great thing is that I have come to admire and respect these
*giants* even more due to one thing I've seen in them all...

Passion.

Aside from the knowledge and experience they've gained throughout their
lives and careers, their passion has caught my eye!

Gentlemen and ladies, I bow to you in reverence.

You may not all agree on *certain* topics, based on your individual
bias, but you all have made valid points and have broadened my own
education.

*mutters to myself* "If only I could decide between thick and thin..."

I'm guessing I'm amongst the passionate, if not close to being a giant.
If someone asks me what kind of car to get, I could care less, but ask
me about data-based software applications or George W and passion you
will get ;-)

I was once thin, but am now a bit thick. Trust me, thin is better,
although it might take some work. That is where most folks want to
head, it seems.

Fun? Who's having fun?

again, raises revolver and ...)

It's almost like when Bob from CDT was making contributions here <g>.

Perhaps all this Passion is actually a case of some people having far
too much time on their hands. I dont have enough time to read some of
those posts, never mind write such !!

Going through end of year this side of the ditch, so I KNOW what you
mean !
