Re: Future of the lists

=EF=BB=BFEchoing what has already been said, thank you Scott for your stirli=
ng work tending this list, and to the resident high priests who have been so=
 generous with their time and wisdom over so many years!

I=E2=80=99m sad to see it go  but understand that change is necessary.

I have only occasionally posted, but have been an avid reader. As has been s=
aid, the learning curve is steep for those of us (like myself) who do not ha=
ve a primary background in computer science, engineering etc. But this list h=
as allowed me to get purchase on how to think in SC terms (the back and fort=
h, seeing how it is usually possible to approach problems in a number of way=
s, how these open up different possibilities).=20
