[time-nuts] time-nuts Digest, Vol 198, Issue 31

[Magnus Danielson]

Dear Demetrios,

Many thanks, and be assured that I find great delight in reading your
posts and comments on and off list. We all have our focus on something,
and sometimes we just miss to see things even if it's just in front of
us. I keep doing the same regularly, but then again, by making mistakes
we keep learning, and the quicker we get those friendly comments of
feedback, the quicker we can move on and not waste time and energy where
not needed. That is how we progresses. Also, sometimes trying to answer
these questions, I learn things myself.

So, let's keep making honest mistakes and learn from each other as we
resolve them! :)

Cheers,
Magnus
