<BR>posts in recent days that have been off subject. I know this is =
<BR>annoying to many. But I've come to realize in my years of subscribing =
<BR>that this list is different from many, in that we have become pretty =
<BR>well acquainted in one way or another over the years. I have met many =
<BR>of you at conventions, and look forward to meeting many more in Reno =
<BR>next summer. With the kinds of friendships that have developed, we are =
<BR>more likely to digress than many would like. I feel that all things =
<BR>considered, this list still meets the needs of many different types of =
<BR>folks. We just have to give and take as we can and ignore the rest.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks again for your kindness.
