Arthur, I don't mean to be presumptuous, I mean, I really don't even know you as well as many others on this list. Still, I can easily see that your contributions, and your character, are of the highest quality. Please know that my prayers are with you in your journey. And though the result may be known, I wish you the very best of everything along the way. I'll start working on that code now. Is copying and pasting OK? ;^) Steve -----Arthur Fuller's Original Message----- 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.
