Tim
I'm glad that you are not too seriously concerned about being sued.
Many thanks, from me too, for all your work and effort over the last few
years. I don't exaggerate when I say that this list has enriched my life,
taught me many valuable lessons and has been an incredible resource.
Many thanks for a job done extremely well and for bringing a community of
people, who share a rewarding hobby, together.
Regards
Ralph W. Lambrecht
