Re: 10 years of the lb-l

Hi Tony (and all),

Hmmm... 10 years already? That calls for a celebration :-)

It also calls for a big "THANK YOU!" for running the list for so long. I can imagine that you feel it's time to move on, the activity on the list has indeed diminished (I was just wondering about that myself the other day). Still, the list is populated by a unique collection of ADN individuals. I would prefer to have this group around a bit longer (even though I have not contributed much over the years).

If you're willing to still invest the time (and money I guess) in this list, that would be great. If not, I'm sure we can find a way to migrate and find someone to take over (and yes, I'm considering to pick up the stick).

Cheers,


Sake
