I second this!  A big thanks to all who put the work into posting their recent
stuff.  I really enjoy following people's progamming efforts on the net,
even if I don't need the particular program right away.  In fact I find
that the authors on the net often run into problems that I later have, and if 
the posted the method they used for getting around the hassle, it helps me
on my way...  

So keep up the good work!  (I am just finishing up a suite of programs to assist
in DNA sequence analysis and related fields, which I will post RSN.  If you
think few people use a phone-book-manager, how many do you think will use
_that_?  ;-)  )
