Hello from Rip Van Winkle (ssoss)

Welcome back Andrew! Most of the "old boys" are still here, but some of
them have drifted off to new ventures.

Good to have you back, regardless.

Hello from Rip Van Winkle (ssoss)

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for writing back. In the old days, I was starving with 2 kids and
lots of other troubles related to running my own business. I remember
reaching out and you had offered me some help. Thank you very much for
that, it was encouraging. I've been able to eek my way out of disaster
and secure a permanent job, but I sure do feel compassion for every
e-commerce virgin just getting his/her feet wet with Miva. I hope things
are still going well in the Hosting sector.=20

Keep in touch if you want to talk MS BS - speaking of which, don't judge
my MS work by the front page of our website, I have yet to touch it
after nearly 3 years with this company. But, you can see my work here:=20

I'm not looking for side-work right now, but as always I love to show
off so I welcome ASP questions and stuff. I also love a good debate so
if anyone wants to talk MS vs. MV scripting, let me know.

Cheerios.
