Glad you got something positive out of this.<br /><br />Michael:<br />So happy to see you here. Ernest did have a wry sense of humor. All of us wince at the impact of rejections, criticisms, or just long stretches of silence from those to whom we submit our work.<br /><br />Winning is not promised to any of us, but success is that Holy Grail that lures us on. If we fall by the wayside, we will always be haunted by seven words: what if I had not given up?Roland D.
