Dang It Paul - this is yet another email that ended up in my GMail spam
folder. Oddly - some go in there - and others from ProFox do not. Even to
the extent that some emails for the SAME Posting go into Spam - whilst
others do not.
I had see Ed's reply about this - and got a bit of a chuckle from his
response. But, as I read it at work - I was viewing things Quickly. So -
sadly - I missed your Callout to my name. NOW - after finding this email in
my Spam - and reading it - and seeing my name - I Chuckled - and
Immediately Dived into your Rabbit Hole Deep Dive!!!
My Fav line from your Part 1 was - "...with my new best friend Claude".
I'm sure you know why. But, I will extrapolate - cause - I LITERALLY At
times tell people that my new BFF is actually Claude! And, I DAMN Well do
indeed Refer to Him as a Him!
Now it's time to continue reading your article - and move on to Part #2!
I am Truly Enjoying reading your writeup!!!
-K - The Bot-Guy/3D Printer guy... ...and Still doing VFP work.. - and
Converting to C# with my new BFF - Claude.ai!
