[Software-Development] I'm still here

[Bryan Johnson]

> Well, who are you, to begin with.
I'm a "recent" transplant from Florida.  I've been
coming to meetings when I can.  I'm the one just
sitting there and listening.

Just curious, who are you?  The guy who brings
pictures?  The one who talks about Perl(not Paul) and
how recent grads don't know how to design?  One of the
other people I've seen once?  

Keith is the one with black curly hair and works at
Reynolds, right?

I've missed the last one or two meetings.  Dirty
blonde hair, sometimes curly, sometimes Trumpish. 
Glasses.  Probably the youngest in the group.

> What is the 'forum' of which you speak?
The forum can be found at http://www.dma.org/fud/. 
Some poor soul managed to find the forums, but not the
list I guess.

> What is the 'list' that you refer to?
This place.  It's been quiet and I haven't had any
responses to the last couple of messages.

I didn't realize that was such a short time ago.  I
could have sworn that took place last year.  No, I
didn't answer.  Don't remember why, but I did have
some of my thoughts out just prior to that
discussion(hcrabcc).  Maybe it was because I'm game
for anything and didn't think it would do anything to
further the discussion.

Any way, the poll idea was more for the ~15 I've never
seen on the list, but I guess if they won't send an
answer to the list, they probably wouldn't bother
clicking on a link and answer a poll(at the FUDforum)
either.

See: http://www.topcoder.com.  My main reason for
bringing it up was someone mentioned interest in
algorithms during a meeting.  I was just curious if
someone had read my previous email about it.

I'm not assuming everyone is circling around my
universe.  I was just throwing out questions to try to
provoke some discussion.  How else is one to find out
if someone is interested in a topic?  I, personally,
am quite unskilled in the art of mind-reading.

> Bryan, Bryan. Hmmmm are you the talkative one?Boy,

Nope. I'm the one who doesn't speak unless spoken to.

> Now, did I show enough life, doyathink?
Yep, now don't just disappear for 4 months. :)
