In his Archipelago: Daniel Berlinger's Archipelago News Weblog Daniel links to Dave's observation that:

"Now the class of 96 is coming back online, I'm not on the mail list because of all the flames, but when it quiets down I look forward to hearing people's ideas on the next steps in the evolution of our environment and tool set." [Dave that's a really nice olive branch. Good on ya!]

It's great to see the class of 96 come back online and I'd like to echo Daniel's thanks for the olive branch. There's a lot of positive energy rejuvenating the ScriptMeridian community - brought about, it would seem, by the release of Radio. Most of us seem to be tuning in to the real potential of Radio from a developer's perspective. One really wierd coincidence is the fact that three of the ScriptMeridianers were born within two weeks of each other in the same year - 1954. Spooky!

I'd also like to endorse Daniel's message:

"Don't read meaning into people's messages. If you're not sure what they meant, don't make an assumption, instead ask for clarification." It works for me.

I'm slowly learning this - after 47 years ;-) Feel free to seek clarification!
