Re: Learn More About e-RPG

["Leslie Russell" <leslier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no idea why you are so bitter, thats what is confusing.  I mean don't
you owe part of your income to the AS/400 and RPG to a small degree?  Yes?
Well if thats the case why smack Brad and try to burst his bubble this way?
I would have thought that anybody involved with the AS/400 would be, proud,
amazed and happy for Brad and the job he's done.

And who minds a little self promption, besides it wasn't even Brad who
posted the link he just said he thought it was cool.
