just wanted to say .....

i'm on the Internet everyday. it's my job. i'm a network admin for a regional isp. and like many jobs its a love/hate relationship. i get to talk to routers, web servers, mail servers and ras boxes all day long. my office and i kid you not, is a walk-in closet, 5 feet by 8 feet. the ceiling has florescent lamps which i have removed the bulbs and replaced them with a string of clear Christmas mini-lights wrapped around the ceiling edge and a 60 watt desk lamp.

i've been online since before the Internet, as we know it today, was up an running. it wasn't www rather it was bbs. anyone remember FedWorld? and Wildcat BBS?

anyway, in that time i've been on a lot of newgroups and forums. i must say, that of all of them, i believe i enjoy and appreciate XMTS above all of them. ( including all the geek cisco router tips and tricks groups )

and i'd like to especially send my appreciation to Graham and Hamish for their insight and unwavering support for those of us who may question they're own senses in wearing the kilt. as well, i send appreciation to all the members of XMarks for the support given. i don't believe i've ever met a more honest bunch of folks.

and to Hank, well, he's no doubt the diehard and without his expertise and commitment, Xmarks wouldn't be here.

so thanks and i'm gonna go grab another Guinness before it grabs me!


regards,

ambrose
