=8^) I was thinking just how coincidental it seemed, when I saw that in |
| 8 |
the RSS scroller (knewsticker). I clicked on it, hardly daring to believe |
| 9 |
the luck. When I saw it matched, the next problem was trying to remember |
| 10 |
which of several lists I'd seen the request on and finding the thread. |
| 11 |
Then I had to hope you hadn't quite reading, as it would have been |
| 12 |
frustrating to think you'd been so close... and not knowing if you'd |
| 13 |
missed it! |

So, I'm glad you replied, to let me know you got the message. Do let us |
| 16 |
know how it works, as this is just the sort of trick I like to keep up my |
| 17 |
sleeve for those unexpected situations -- offhand comments in a newsgroup |
| 18 |
thread mentioning something someone's trying to do, etc. Having a few of |
| 19 |
these sorts of tricks around can GREATLY enhance one's reputation as a |
| 20 |
"magician" (aka geek god, aka guru)! =8^) |
