Hey no problem just doing my part. Others did it before me and will do
it after me. Just adding my own grease to keep the wheels turning. I
tend to tell people when they need help to seek it. But to not forget
when others are seeking help, if you have the knowledge share it. I help
you, you help someone else. Together ideally we all help each other.

Yes FOSS stuff is great and awesome. Social evolution for the advance of
knowledge and etc. It's all good.

But keep in mind there are many volunteers that go unappreciated. People
that work in local shelters, food programs, health, big
brothers/sisters, etc. We really should make time to always be
appreciative and thankful to the much needed and very important
volunteers that keep the world turning round.

Thanks Steve, always good to be a appreciated on some level. Even for
the most minor of contributions at times. Every little bit eventually
adds up to allot.

Ok enough of this righteous crap ;)
