This gets my first response since joining (yesterday).
I've been holding back. ;-))
There is a debt owed to all the folks who pour their time/talent into
projects which benefit others. I assume it's somewhat reciprocal as
they get feedback from those interested and that they gain an element
of respect and credibility as pioneers.
Of course respect & credibility will get you a cup of coffee anywhere
in the country as long as you have the price of a cup of coffee to go
along with it. :o
I haven't done much so far but I'm very interested.
Mr. McCain's mixer is one of the first things I did.
I was telling everyone who would listen what a stroke of genius it is.
The concept still floors me.
Much thanks to Mr. McCain.
