And where are bOb, BOB, bOB, boB, and BOb?

Ignore this dude, Spacey. :)

I know who you mean, and yes, I miss seeing his posts, too. Not the least
guess on the story. Whether it was something about ACF, or whether it was
something about life external.

If you are referring to bob..privacy.net.. yes, I miss him too, a nice
guy and very helpful.

: Don't know what else to do but just report the problem. But luckily
: others had the same problem...and I guess the weight of numbers
: counts...so now you really HAVE fixed it. :) It's running fine now.

No, I fix things when I get the information I need to find the
problem.

Yeah, I supplied the info in another thread. But next time around, I'll
submit it in ALL the threads I post in. At the time I think I was ready to
give up on Big Gulp, so wasn't as thorough as I usually would be. Sorry
about that.

Hey dude! Just here under another name. "bob" was an accident that got
perpetuated. And the proliferation of Bobs kinda went over the top when
BoB stole...er...borrowed(!) my privacy.net address. <g>

But yeah...to the others...work's been eating me alive. :-( So haven't
been around much.

Anyway, great to see Susan doing such a phenomenal job with PW!

And hey Mike Sa! Glad you're still riding those developers to develop
"green" versions of their programs. Looks like you've got an ally in
omega!

And I thought I was pretty good at recognizing people. It must be that
winter beard you grew, threw me off. :)

LOL And you thought he was dead!! I told you it was work!

Hey, I did *not* say he was dead! All I said was that I think he got sent off
to prison, had his overseas accounts seized, and might well end up dead. OK?

Man, I hope you didn't mean literally! But hey, I've seen people post like
mad, then mysteriously disappear...Then a relative comes online and
delivers the bad news. Kind of makes you avoid getting too attached to any
posters. :-(

LOL. Well aside from the account seizures, you pretty much summed up my
new job. :p

I remember a fellow from about 2 years ago, Mark SD, posted with
freeware and help constantly, then disappeared.

MyRealBox recommends (e-mail address removed) if spam is a problem. My box
was getting maxed out every 8 hours with Swen so I started using
their suggestion. I'll be returning to a new MyRealBox address very
soon as I haven't seen a Swen in over a week. Since I never read
addresses, only names, I hadn't noticed how close we were. Sorry
about that.

Thanks for the explanation.

BoB
For the duration of Swen, my address is inoperative.

Hi,

I was wondering too. Glad to know you haven't deserted ACF. :) :) :)

Hey Susan!

Yep, I dip in when I can...just don't post much.

You're doing a *terrific* job with Pricelessware!!!...and also with
"herding the cats". :-)

Thank you very kindly sir (blush) :)

I'm getting *terrific* support from the group - IMO having the PL
descriptions now is going to make for a better discussion period *and*
we won't have the *mystery* programs that we had last year when we were
trying to do the PL descriptions. IIRC we had to omit a couple of
programs from PL2003 because no one knew what/ where they were (the good
old days). ;)

Hope your workload eases up a bit soon.

Yeah...I knew the group was *good*, but I'm amazed at everyone's energy.
People are contributing far more effort than I ever would have believed.

I agree. And by getting a lot of the detail work done *up front*, it
makes the process less stressful somehow. More time in the end to
discuss the things that are REALLY important, rather than worrying about
prosaic things like who's the sucker stuck with describing all the System
Utilities(!) or what the heck is this program anyway?!

Me too!

Whoever thought of having those who nominate provide descriptions was
quite ingenious :)
