Happy new year Mark. 
 We are a COP, a community of practice, and of all such entities to which I've 
belonged, the Rollei list is the one which most feels like home. Thanks for 
keeping us together through one of the rougher years but also one of the more 
hopeful years that the wold has given us
All the best
