Sean,

I've got a couple of things to say. First of all, there's Dossche's law #9:
 
     "Never think you know a person from conducting on-line discussions. You
     need to break bread with that person first, have a coffee, get drunk
     together and keep eachother from crashing to the floor in eachother's
     vomit. Having sex may be a bonus."
 
Do you know Bjorn? How he ticks? How he talks? No you don't, you know as good
as nothing about him. Probably he's a softspoken Swede, maybe a tad drunk,
speaking in the melodic-rithmic way that Scandinavians do. He's got a lot to
offer and we have sort of plans to meet someday before we kick the bucket.
 
True, he can be an arse, so can I, but try to consider him as a resource. You
are a resource to me too and that makes it a lot easier.
 
By twtting someone you may miss good stuff. A twit filter may have been a tool
25 years ago, these days with the numbers we are, it is a loss.
 
SD> Some good news though: I have been working hard to get my diabetes under

Diabetes is a still misunderstood killer.
