"fumei" saying goodbye 1

[fumei]

Hi folks,

As some of you are painfully aware, I do tend to write long winded posts. I will try to keep this short.

I am retreating totally off-line, severing all 'Net connections, and therefore will no longer post anything to Tek-Tips. It has been a huge learning experience for me. I have gained so much from this place, and am deeply grateful to a number of regulars who have shared such generous knowledge. My knowledge and skills have improved vastly with the availability of such a wide community.

I am also very grateful to those who felt that I have helped them, in what ever small way. It contributed to the feeling that this IS a community. A vibrant place to learn, to share and grow.

Thank you all.

I do want to mention some specific handles.

Skip - you awe me, and have made me laugh so hard that I ached.

Tony - having you decide to change and go with a global template for code....nah nah na. Just kidding. You had given me some delightful insights and forced me into humble learning. For this I am grateful.

PHV - I have learned a huge lesson in clarity and brevity (at least in my code if not my prose). I know Skip is tops in many things, but...no offense to you Skip...PHV, you are the best.

Dreamboat - Anne, just plain thank you. You are truly a gem. I will treasure the book.

fumei...signing off

Gerry,

Hope you get to read this before you 'sever all net connections', but I just had to thank you, thank you, thank you for all the help, hints, and hope you've given me since I joined TT. You will be greatly missed, but at least my printer cartridges will last longer, now I don't have to print your posts!

'Bye Buddy, from just one of many, many fans.


Chris

Gerry,

Hope that I'm able to catch you before the chord is cut.

You have been a prolific contributor and recognized as an MVP. We will miss you, I will miss you, as a vital part of our on-line technical community.

Good luck!

Skip,
