Re: DIY EGOR

["Dave Zug" <dzug@delanet.com>]

I don't know guys.  every time I see these kinds of posts I go back and look
at the early communications between the parties and its always the same.
bright, cheery, eager. One party asks, the other answers.  ... another
question and another answer... then later, a product, and a conflict.

The 2 things I just started working on and have not told anyone about, I
dont think I'll tell anyone, and I don't want any help.

There... I headed off the almost enevitable arguments and now I...um....
(why dont I feel better)

list please don't die off.
