Re: [APML] Mission Statement Change?

[Michael Gartland <mgartlan@iconn.net>]

I vote that this is one of the best forums, sites, assets, or whatever,
on the WWW and since they have brought it this far, whatever the
principals want to do and whatever way they want to do it in is fine with
me. I only hope that the unselfish sharing of experience and knowledge
with the rest of us continues, and hope that when I share what little I
may have learned, it is of some value to others, as some measure of
payback for all that I have gained.
