Sorry for the silence folks.  Work and my personal life has taken a good deal
more time these days, and getting to news (at home) has become a bit of
a chore.  I've been watching over comp.sys.3b1 for anything interesting ...
It's not that I don't care, it's that I just don't have the time these days.

I agree with Peter, and already have taken the necessary steps to do that.
Andy Heffernan (ahh@glyph.kingston.ny.us) is taking over my FAQ posting that
I started back last year.  He volunteered for that.  Thanks!

David Brierley (our very own comp.sources.3b1 moderator) has volunteered to
keep OSU-CIS up-to-date (since he's already doing it for the comp.sources.3b1
archives there).  Personally I'm not sure what needs to go there that hasn't
been posted to comp.sources.3b1, and that is being archived automagically.
But nevertheless, Dave volunteered to look over OSU.

Gil and I both thank everyone for their continued praise and support.  We're
just moving on to other things these days.  I'll always have a 3B1 around...
and anyone is welcome to drop me a line, or question ... I'll try my best
to get back to mail.

That's true, situations do change... very much.  After moving from New York
to Texas, that was definitely the case.  I thought I could handle it all, but
*life* comes first before life here on netnews ...

Thanks again folks... I can be reached at IBM also these days...
