[TheForge] test?

[Dave Brown]

I know, Roy.  After the last go around here about the woes of the 
educational system I should have realized that the world is a rotten place 
and there's no hope for the future.  But I can't help but think that a 
question like Dan's deserved an answer.  So what happens?  We beat his 
enthusiasm and drive down into the dust.  That's a sure way to make 
progress If I ever heard one.

Anyway, we all know that song, right?  The one about how "Everyone knows an 
ant can't move a rubber tree plant".  (or something like that).

I'd rather see the glass as half full as opposed to half empty.

Dave "ever the optimist" Brown
