texte = Hi Govinda, Your name is new to me but I guess you're a WebDNA lover too! Thanks for the positive characterization of my former efforts with WebDNA. After having lived through the experience I can assure you that there were more than a few times when I would have characterized my effort as "living foolishly" rather than living boldly. Fortunately I weathered the tough times without any long term damage, and eventually I came to the realization that no matter what a person tries in life he/she will probably be a better person for it later -- even if his/her original goals are never fully achieved. :) Sincerely, Ken Grome > Wow! > More than loyalty to WebDNA, that shows living BOLDLY!
