Subj : Back again To : Richard M. Meic From : Kevin Gibson Date : Mon Jul 16 2001 11:28 am - Hello Richard, RM> I'm sure that once you tell me the reason for referring to me RM> as president I will end up slapping my head because it should RM> have been more obvious. Ah! Perhaps the proper salutation is Mr. Chairman. ( Hint: There's a connection to another Robin Williams movie. ) RM> I have many things I would prefer to enjoy before I get to 80 RM> and I am unable to enjoy those things if I am cooped up in a RM> library every afternoon of every day, hunting down the weeks RM> references. I understand. I really do. On the other hand, typing up explanations for you requires more time than you might think!! Your requests sometimes read as though you think everything should be packaged for the short attention span of a generation that grew up playing DOOM and Mortal Kombat. I think you lose sight of the fact that some of the people with whom you correspond grew up without cable TV, MTV, VCRs, DVD, CD, PCs, the Internet and World Wide Web. They spent a lot of time in classrooms and libraries. And you want, what? The condensed version? Reader's Digest? Cliffs Notes? The "quick explanation?" From people who may have less discretionary time than you? RM> I have started a programmer's group and we are currently RM> working on a strategy game in order to polish our skills. That's great! I wish you all the best. Glad you enjoyed "Bicentennial Man." I thought you would. - -+- QuikEdit 2.41R+ --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Sursum Corda! BBS-New Orleans 1-504-897-6006 USR33k6 (1:396/45) .
