User pet84rik shared some  fascinating things about his past
in  a  recent  post[1].  He  ended  by  apologizing  for  it
potentially being  too depressing,  but on the  contrary, I
found it very inspirational.

Born in  a dynamic time, in  a part of the  world struggling
with crushing problems,  and suffering loss at  a very early
age, pet84rik still seems (to me at least) to be optimistic,
working on developing the life he wants to have. He's living
and loving  along the way.  He's learning, and  growing, and
working. Computers are  part of his history.  It's a success
story.

Thanks for  sharing it pet84rik,  I hope to read  more about
your life sometime.
