At the last count, I have made 8 attempts to send e-mail to Doug Gwyn.
Here's what I've tried to send:
	Thank you very much for your postings in comp.lang.c.
	I very much appreciate the work you put into them.

I would point out to you that the BSI Prolog committee knows of the
existence of comp.lang.prolog (I told them) but *NO-ONE* on that
committee has ever had the courtesy to post anything to that newsgroup
or the Prolog Digest.  (Perhaps they are too busy inventing a new
language.)  Neither has there been much in comp.lang.fortran about
Fortran 8X, until we were suddenly told that the review period would
be over in a couple of weeks.  We readers of comp.lang.c are fortunate
indeed to have Doug Gwyn.
