Go up one level in this thread


11.7.99

Dear Fellow members --

Yes, James, he is too modest (this should be considered a virtue in view of
certain programmers who shoot off their mouths about their programs without any
stats to back it up).

The posts on the Hall of Fame are great but, perhaps, if I may, I would suggest
that a wing be added for all those great programmers who have just written
programs and then GIVEN THEM AWAY FOR FREE (that is still amazing to me).
Thanks so much to all of you who have taken such a difficult and hard-earned
accomplishment and allowed the rest of us to benefit from it for free.

Sincerely,

Kelly Patterson
