And a hearty thanks to you Dennis, for supplying the facilities for this 
list.  The state of the coco today is largely your doing in supplying and 
policing this list.  My thanks.

I was hoping that we would find some newer folks to carry on, and recently 
it looks as if we've gained some new ones who haven't reached their "use by 
date" yet.  I am long since past mine as I turned 79 today. 

So here is a tip of the hat to this list, and the friends we've all made 
here.  Thank you.

Cheers, Gene

Yes, but every time I try to see things your way, I get a headache.
