 TS> Hello everyone.

Hey Tim!

Glad to hear your still alive and kicking.  Hope the independent field
keeps you busy and helps you expand your skills.

 TS> #2) Somewhere in all these transitions, I lost access to Fidonet and

As many of us did over time.  It happens..  :)

 TS> #3) Forbidden Knights suffered the same fate; it limped into
 TS> non-existence and was shut down to my recollection without much
 TS> feedback from me 

Every good thing must come to an end...

 TS> Before I answer #4, let me tell you that my days as the author of
 TS> Telegard, ¨working with its many users and most especially the alpha
 TS> and beta sites that made up a fabulous team, were some of the most
 TS> rewarding days of my early career.

Though I was only a beta team member for a short while, the time I spent
as a utility developer and a TG support site were very rewarding and I
wouldn't have traded it for the world.  I'm glad I got to work with you
some on the project, it was a blast.  Back in the early 90's when I firsted
called FK's and talked with you in email all the way to the final days
of IRC chatting.

You did amazing things with Telegard while it was in your hands.. Thanks
for all the hard work man.

 TS> #4) I'm not sure where Telegard can go from here -- I'm not sure that

If there's ever anything I or any of the other die hard TG people can
do to help your retrieve it, just let us know.  If I'm ever in Canada
I'll try and look you up and fix that sucker for ya.. :)

 TS> Thank you everyone for the kind words you've said over the years, and I
 TS> wish all of you the best.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into things, I learned a lot
from you about Pascal and programming in general.  I'm glad you took
up TG after Martin and I think you did great things with it.

Again, just glad to know your still out there and doing ok..

Take care Tim..
