OJ- Happy new year 2000..to everyone Thanks for the call by on P&F Dorsey.. I wish you would be here, we are having great fun and enjoying end to what was for us hopefully a great year, the biggest return was my list of friendships on global basis, from California to Sydney, I made 36 new friends this year, who I met courtesy Idea and now have invitations to all our for next year. I hope I can avail few, tonight we will have Amit from California, a SI friend (originally a lurker) gracing our house pre- warming party for the next millenium. We will miss you tomorrow, one of my French friend Didier who lurks on Idea was very excited to see OJ, yesterday he called me asking if you are coming. So what we do here good or bad wrong or right has lot of appreciation and condemnation, I got to live with both, I have known one thing to translate cyber friendship into human relationship is not an easy task, since I have been able to achieve that I think I have succeeded. Had it not been for love, gratitude, sincerity, integrity showered on me by all of you I would not been able to continue. Breaking norms, setting new standards and surviving adversity are essential ingredients for a global citizen, in a very little way I can say here we all tried our best. In the process if I have hurt anyone I would extend my profound apologies. Take care and hope that the next year we are met with resounding success, more love and ever growing global understanding. My small little corner in cyber space has been one good example and naturally I wish that we can continue our efforts in the next year.
