Message to my silent readers.

I would dearly like to hear from the 8 or 9 readers who regularly check my postings as soon are they are up. You obviously are interested and consequently I feel that I am not completely wasting my time. It would be very beneficial to all of us if you made your thoughts known to me, so that perhaps I can re-direct my focus and adapt to the needs of readers. Among other things I am going to attempt some complex projects requiring help from other people if they are to progress well.

So please keep in touch at m.porcher1@bigpond.com
