In Service to the Dream,

Brian C. Bertrand
SKA-Bertran de Saint Jean

Showing deference to those with power over you is not courtesy, it is
self-preservation. Showing deference to those over whom you have power is
not only courtesy, but grace.

A bullet, laser beam, missile or charge may have your name on it, smartbombs
and bombs are addressed "To whom it may concern"..
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Gain access to everything you need to create and publish documentation,
manuals, and other information through multiple channels. Choose
authoring (and import) as well as virtually any output you may need.
