Let's Meet Our Good Pal:
crespi
During the flame wars of the old Netscape and early Propeller, I hesitated to be anyone's friend for fear of their getting hurt while I swung my sword like a madman.
I am in a place to be much friendlier now and am very open.
This goes out to all my old pals like puffin, ciere-marie, goppy, davidnwpa, populist (that radical), and all the rest who have fought for sense and fairness, who I would like to make my friends now...
I recently recovered from terminal Leukemia in a way that surprised all the doctors, in speed and being in the 99th percentile of no infections etc., and they attributed it to my POSITIVE ATTITUDE(!) I thought THAT would give long time commenters and posters quite a chuckle.
Propeller gets better all the time and I welcome new readers, commenters, and posters but may fall into old habits sometimes and say something for shock value (or shove hate back at a real hater, like the old days : )
