John, I will certainly miss you and your wisdom. I regard you in the same area as Walter Farrell (RACF) and John Erhman (Assembler). About all your good posts here, you were to me like that "Babel fish" (in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). Everything you said was very understandable and informative as well educational. Who will now replace you and educate all of us on IBM-MAIN? You must enjoy your wisdom and all your hobbies. May God bless you and your family on your new journey. Thanks again!
