Dave,

I've been a mostly lurker on this list for hmm.. a couple of years anyway.

Just wanted to thank you for your patience and quick response to this yahoo
emails snafu, not to even mention all the extra work I know this list has
been at times for  you.

I just wanted to reaffirm the positives about the list that  you mentioned
and to add that IMO  you've been doing a first rate job and also,  to thank
you for all  the work you do, managing the list.

Cheers

Jim Hudson
