[Lowfer] UWL -- It's in there! (in here, too)

Fri, 21 Mar 2003 16:15:51 -0600

Hey Eric,
I had the same such luck in the beginning. I know it was because of the
generousity of the Lowfer group that it was made possible. This is the best
damn group you could ever be with. These guys are very knowledgeable and
always offer a hand or part to help the others.

Later,

Yeah, Gary, I don't know what went "wrong".  Beginner's luck?  No, all the
sound direction from the list!

It's nice to know that it's working and that the work I'm doing is to make
it better, and not just still trying to make it work.  :)
