I really don't think that is needed. The list is the list. I have gained
and, I hope, provided a great deal of technical information on this list,
plus I have enjoyed the humanity of the list. And I have always taken the
tack that people come and people go as they wish. If someone wishes to make a
personal decision to vacate, I respect that decision and hope that maybe they
will return. But the basic volume of knowledge and willingness to help still
exists, and will continue to exist, regardless of who decides to leave for
whatever reason, and who decides to stay. I have always said that those who
want ONLY tech stuff should curl up with a good, cold, inhuman shop manual.
