Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Issues, remaining

[Raymond S. <dst...@or...>]

I contribute to the level of my abilty.  And a master debugger I am not, but
I have found a 'few' trivial ones.  If I got credit for bloodshot eyes and
pist off girl friends you might actually get a sense of how much time I
spend trying to make a contribution.

I think I tend to frustrate poor Robert as much as make a valid
contribution.

I never coded a stitch in my life, til 3 months ago.  I am a mere pup among
men (yet I'm probably older then most of you, don't ask).
