[Tfug] [ot] introduce myself

[keith smith]

Hi Tim,

Even though you got an almost comical welcome … the list welcomes you.

A little back ground.  This list is unorganized and last I heard intends to stay that way.  No rules, no leadership. I’ve been on the list for 6 or 7 years.  Mostly lurking.  

We have had a number of discussions about organizing.  Even had a meeting about 4 years ago.

There are some colorful people on this list.  Some may clump me into that group.  It can be entertaining.

Last I heard there was about 160 members on this list.  I’ll bet it’s 200 or more.

We are a family.  We joke, disagree… even fight. 

But like any family if you need help, someone will give you a hand.

I have learned a lot from these guys and gals.  It has been entertaining, fun, and educational.

Welcome!

Keith

In order of exposure: IBM, Honeywell, General Electric, IBM.

No I've never looked at GnuCash. I migrated experience not code.
Lot's of 'for profit' competition; not much of 'for love of the game'.

Thanks for the welcome

tim
