Re: AGA 2004 (fwd)
I agree completely!!! A few of us had been plugging away very hard, but
only sort of treading water for a LONG time. But within the last two years,
and especially during the last year, things are FINALLY, _REALLY_ coming
together! And it's not a result of what any one person is doing... We've
ALL been working hard, doing are share and seeing the fruits of our labor.
It's actually pretty darned exciting!
