Hear hear. I might not post very often as I can't seem to get to post
directly from my e-mail account but I'm still here and thoroughly
enjoy this list and have made many many long terms friends. I might
visit other places but I know where I feel most at home. Thanks
George and to all who make this list so interesting. I've enjoyed the
funding/where to/SOW debates and found them thought provoking
although I'm not really sure what I can effectively contribute at
present.
