Quotes of the Day for 8 August 2003 - Meetings

I had a delightful meeting last evening with a pair of subscribers who read the ad below (in the day's e-mail version) and decided their website had been neglected for too long. I'll be updating one site, and creating a second, and I'll probably sneak in a plug for it here when it's ready. But the real point here, other than slyly hoping you will go read the ad yourself and consider having me help with your site, is that the meeting was so pleasant and productive, compared to all the meetings that seem to be mentioned in the quotes database.

     - Richard M. Nixon, 1913 - 1994
