NB> Date: 19 Jun 20 20:01:05 NB> Subj: Re: Resend Daryl OMG! Daryl's being RMA'd?! NB>>>> This is just too important to him really to let it go too easily... NB>>>> and with other people pulling for him too there's encouragement to NB>>>> continue... :) BM>>> Agree. LIS it's sort of the get knocked down, OK, enough is enough I BM>>> give up, ...no, I will not give up! and he comes back fighting. NB>>> Yup, the funk doesn't last too long.... BM>> He seems to come through as a lot better now his new system is being BM>> build: there's light at the end of the black hole! NB>> Um... yeah... good simile...
