- That was a really neat and personal sharing. Thank you for taking the
- time to put it down. Maybe it should go in the intro to the new book ;-)

- Yup, this is exactly how I get him, even though I have never had the
- pleasure to meet him---someday I would hope to.
-
- And by the way, I singled Larry out because it was what hit me at the
- moment I was reading his response, but that in no way deminishes my
- respect and gratitude for you (Randal) and Tom C. But what is really
- neat about Perl and this group, is that just about *everyone* who
- participates seems to really care about it working. That feels
- real good ;-)
