Guys, it has been a terribly long day moving stuff. I should be in bed now getting ready to move the last of it tomorrow. But I really didn't mean to just put a bunch of XXXX's where I had intended to put Shadow1's ID. It was poor editing but I do want to commend James for one other EXCEPTIONAL thing...and that was his honest and truly compassionate attempt to just point out to Shadow that he was wrong. Which is no big deal. We have all been wrong. And it is our best friends who tell us in no uncertain see more terms when we are wrong or to put it another way it is the rare friend who will scream so loud we can't help but hear them when we have our head up our ass and refuse to take it out no matter how many friends we have trying to pull it out.

Which is no big deal either. Which one of us hasn't had our head up our ass about something or other before we pulled it out through sheer force of will or because someone like poor wonderful James didn't do just about everything but go to proctology school to help get that skull out of our proverbial anus?

So I just want to reiterate to Shadow1 what James was saying again and also that getting criticized so intelligently is an honor, Shadow. You can grow from those kinds of teachings even in areas of life outside of programming or something which may seem totally extraneous to Dolphin. And I say "seem" because when you meet someone like James who would spend so much of his time explaining to you where you went wrong and with an enormous amount of patience despite the toned DOWN passion I saw in it. You really owe it to yourself to not be stupid at all and grab someone like that as someone who you want to be friends with...for life!

And welcome to the family, dude. Looking forward to reading your next blog...and no reason to be shy. There are lots of questions that do need to be asked and a lot of work that has to be turned into play...if we are ever going to get it all done. ;-)
