Reply To: some juicy ebay-auctions

I was in contact with Marc for a long long time ago when mmp_discussion was still a yahoo group and there was not yet a website (nor his own database, exchange base, mailboard)… Later he contacted me when I was building up the roots and infrastructure of my database project… and I was reluctant to speed up my own project because I did not want to enter in competition with Marc, he proposed me to join forces, to work with him on MMP with his existing architecture but the idea of my project was too different from MMP at the time that I could not melt the two projects in a single one. I offered my help of course but I kept working on my project. It’s about this time that I stopped hearing from him actually… though the MMP site kept working for several months from that point, until, I suppose, the annual fee was not renewed or paid to his web host…

I don’t regret the fact that I did not stop my own project to come help contribute to his site (of which I had absolutly no access to the code and ftp files) . Had I not done so by that time…. the current MMP would not have come into existence that soon
