Re: [papercreters] Thanks Perry, you are a wise man. We can all learn many differnt ways.

I read all the time, even if I never post. When I finally start to build, I'll be asking all sorts of dumb questions.Some times stuff is over my head but I'm certainly glad for those that explain, share, etc. Clarissa --- On Thu, 1/7/10, valledecalle@yahoo.com <valledecalle@yahoo.com> wrote: From: valledecalle@yahoo.com <valledecalle@yahoo.com> Subject: [papercreters] Thanks Perry, you are a wise man.

So far everyone here as been gracious and helpful to me a real "Green Horn". I am sorry that my feelings have offended you. Being new I even wrote a note asking a "Mod" to write to me. Had no response, so had no guidelines on which to go on. We each have our own ideas, but I for one am going to learn as much as I can, repeated over and over. These kind folks give freely of their time to make my learning better.
