Hi Randy, Your subject headline above caught my attention, very interesting...?
For many years I had 3 similar words printed in large size font, pinned to the board in front of my desk area.
As an engineer one always think's ahead to keep problems to a minimum in a high volume production environment.

As so many things are done every day as routine, that production management people would never see or know about!
So when they were on my case for some problem that could not be sorted out fast.
I would be honoured with a visit and then the obvious question asked; what can WE DO?
I would then duly point at the board.... and say no more!

As it read, - Patience and Perseverance - after a time I would hear a response, sometimes a few words could be heared, that I would not put into print here !

Those 3 words are very useful and cause for many a good laugh.
Now that's all for another day, and thanks for the reminder.
Cheers,
Patrick

We just have to learn to sort through them.

I hear you Randall. Do what you can when you can.

i know what that's like. I get many emails per day (a majority of them from WA) and I cannot respond to each and every one.

I get a lot of emails everyday---whatever isn't important that I need to look at or is an email generated by an autoresponder because I'm on someone's email list gets discarded unless it's important

It's a selection vs disposal decision Randall. I still have a low enough volume to do selection of emails!

Hi, and I am sure everyone understands and I get 100's a day for each account and I have 4 email accounts and one personal. But I do have certain companies and people marked important and so I will always go there first. Mostly everybody here is in the same position some have more but we all get it, I think, well I do :)

Thanks Randall its good to see you. Always so Brittish looking.

You are welcome, Randy!

Best wishes
