Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God Bless America. And may God Bless the whole world, no exceptions! I'd also like to take the opportunity of this OT moment to thank our list administrators, Steve Adams and Mark Bobak, for keeping this one of the friendliest and most generous lists I'm aware of, for working to keep the mechanics of the list nearly invisible, and for keeping the signal to noise ratio high. Regards, Mark W. Farnham
