Thanks Jack.
I don't know about Steve, though. Lately, I've been seeing a lot of excellent software coming out of NZ, so I'm starting to suspect that he might be an artificial life form or something.

> Hello Paul....

> I've been a member of your list for a short time now, perhaps a year
or so (can't remember). I know that we (the list members) have grappled
with the increasing appearance of spammers, an overload of newbies (one
of whom may be me) with newbie questions, and the age old question of
how to keep the place going so that Paul doesn't have to dip into his
own pocket to fund the list.

> I've enjoyed the banter and good humor that we get amongst our posts
and the incredible talent and smarts of some of them. (Steve....wow! I
haven't met too many people that have the talent, knowledge, and good
manners like him. And that guy Paul is no slouch either! ....there's
also the fluids guy and the good folks at LMNO.....so many that
contribute from all over the world).

> So...I wanted to send a few words your way in appreciation for what
you've developed for us here. I know that I was particularly silent on
the issue of membership fees and/or registration fees when that subject
came up, being the cheapie I am, but I have now come full circle to
believe that this is something that may eventually be necessary. I
would hate to see this spot go away as I know you would as well, because
of a lack of funds. I've learned a lot from many people on this list
(hey...you mean pipe is not just pipe?) and this is worth something. I
read almost every post, albeit I do hit the delete key pretty regularly.
I have also saved many of the posts because they contain so much insight
into things I don't know that much about. (I will be publishing the
"Letters of Steve" shortly...should be a best seller.)
>
> I know that I've read comments about "lurkers" (I think that is the
term you use)....with a sheepish guilty pang..... but for the most part,
I do not have the experience to comment on many of the questions that
are asked. I do know good manners, however, so my mother says....
