It's my turn to shed a tear. You people are all so nice. It's a little to call someone you have never met a friend, but I feel that I have made some really good friends on this list. As time goes on, I may well have work to pass around, and if so I will act as coordinator.... But hey, I'm not pushing up daisies yet! So enough with the condolences :) On the day when it happens, my friend will post a message to this list. Until you see such a message, assume that I am alive if not well. Now get back to coding, you weepy snivelling wimps! I want a thousand lines of great code out of each of you, on my desk by Monday morning. Is that clear? :-) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of ACTEBS Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 6:55 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] For Money or Love Gustav, "Should you feel we - the long time listers to whom I humbly count myself - can be of any assistance regarding your Access-related work, I'm sure you can count us in."

I had noticed you recently have been absent in periods but thought that was due to a busy project or similar. I'm impressed how you handle this last "project" of yours; on the other hand - given your deep experience you so often have exposed here - how could it be different? Well, this day certainly turned out differently than expected. Should you feel we - the long time listers to whom I humbly count myself - can be of any assistance regarding your Access-related work, I'm sure you can count us in. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if you already have arrangements settled for this. I hope you'll have some really nice days in Ireland and Paris, not only revisiting known places but having new experiences as well. /gustav > IMO this is not required.
