Hi EQF,

Please read these words that were placed at the bottom of my Funnybone post I made a few days ago:

Canie, before you emmerse yourself knee deep in text books, Roger banging your head on the side of your computer working on some new program, Michael handling the case of the century, Billion making the most perfect song, Don still digging through mounds of materials looking for the most perfect answer, Kate doing her volcano watch, 2 cents still adding up the numbers, EQF designing the signal program, Lowell doing something called nothing, Cathryn working on full physical recovery and yours truly almost ready to commit to vast overtime hours as business is so brisk, may we all have a moment to relax.

Petra - Always Thinking Fondly Of All Of You

You see, I've never forgotten you, overlooked you or failed to practice good manners in answering a question you posed and yet, somehow I and others here do not receive answers to their questions they've asked you.

I sense from your words a feeling of disappointment in the lack of government or scientific interest in developing programs which you can clearly see possible benefits. Well, you know, you aren't alone there. I've felt disappointed in my efforts to try and motivate those who have outreach programs to get out and reach out. But they don't and they won't.

So what's the answer? Like my Father always said, "if you want it bad enough, do it yourself." Its not the easy way, its unsupported mostly, but in the end, you'll be so proud of yourself when you've succeeded beyond anyone's expectations.

Forever More EQF says it all. No one will ever forget you. They may ignore you, but only until such time and you show them the proof that your programs or ideas work. So its up to you, not us, or them to show that what you have works.

But let us be joined in this forum with respect for all and when we ask a question from you, would it be to much to ask for you to answer it? I hope not.

Repectfully,

Petra
