[PUP] PPM Stability

[Fred Goldstein]

Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,

I have been reading this list for a number of years. I do not yet have a passagemaker, but it is one of my dreams, its clear now that I have had that dream since my childhood after becoming fascinated with Jacques Cousteau, the Calypso and  Sharks and Whales and wanting to spend my life doing marine research. Unfortunately the reality of making a living intruded and after spending a summer at the Mote Marine lab as an intern during college (degree in Zoology), I went on to a less adventurous but more financially secure career. I have found all of the discussions, viewpoints and opinions to be good reading and thoughtful, while sometimes a bit over the top; but that is life. You have each made me think and analyze what, how and why certain ideas or beliefs exist and how they might impact my decisions.  
 
Please keep it up. I for one appreciate it and hope to some day join those of you who have and/or are doing it.
