(in Pgh, PA) Lines: 30 Category 14, Topic 4 Message 33 Mon Oct 15, 1990 D.RUFFER [Dennis] at 02:03 EDT Maybe Gary has said it all, but I can not let the ECFB end without adding my own sincere gratitude to Jerry Shifrin for starting this network. Although Jerry was not the first to have the idea of getting Forth programmers communicating electronically, he was the one who made it happen. His untiring efforts are the reason we are all here, and his dedication is what we can all aspire to. I am very sorry to see the end, but I can certainly understand the reasons (as everyone who has tried it can). This is a hard and sometimes thankless "job". It takes a special kind of person to be able to handle it, and Jerry is that kind. I hope we can live up to his dream, and Jerry, I do hope you can find the time to stop by every now and then to see how we are doing. Your input will always be valued highly and welcome no matter what happens in the future. To Jim Wenzel, welcome to the nightmare! I know we are still working out some of the details, but I will do my best to facilitate it in any way that I can. Please don't be afraid to speak up about anything you see problems with. We try to be a family here (with fueds and everything :-) but we are not above admitting we have made mistakes. We look forward to your enlightenment.
