Hi, There were no takers on my previous offer for somebody else to administer the DirectMusic mailing list, so I just thought I'd send out a final notice before I shut down the list in the next couple of days. I want to thank everybody who took part in the list; I certainly learned a lot and the list was a great resource for me and others, but these days the only thing that gets posted to the list is a lot of spam (which, because of the settings, only the administrator (me) gets to see). So unless I hear otherwise, this list will close in the next couple of days. Thanks again for your participation, and I'll take the opportunity to wish everybody a merry christmas and a happy new year.
