There is Wine and AFAIK The Bat! works well with it. I do know of
people, who switched to Linux and kept running The Bat! this way.

I have being quit silent over the past several months. Actually not
really contributing since I left Germany in August 2003. I know what
it means deciding on drastic changes in your life. Congratulation
Leif! Not that I wish you are leaving for good - you mentioned you
will stay around - but, each of use one day will hear the cry from
inside and there is a call for the 'wild'. This requires a cut, a
drastic cut, in order to successfully make such changes.

I cam to this list after the German TB! lists where shaken up. I want
to say, that I never regretted my move. I support your view that this
Community is "one of the friendliest and useful" ML. Despite at some
moments some members got pretty angry about Version Issues but it
never got out of hands. This is where you find the true soul of a ML.
It's rare on the Internet of today. And this is where your actual work
is reflected.

Leif, I like to thank you for all your kindness and dedication you
have put into the work of building this Community. You have done a
great work that many TB!versions and TB!users will benefiting for an
eternity.

What ever your reasons are, I am sure your decision is right. And I am
persuaded that you will find great satisfactions in your new life, way
and work. I wish you and your family all the best. We all gona miss
you - except in TB!ot :)

Read you some time at TB!ot

2007-04-23 Thread Leif Gregory
Hello all,

Wow... What has it been? Nine, ten years? I've come to a time in my
life where I've decided that it's finally time to let go. I look back
to the beginning when I approached RITLabs for permission to create
these lists to where we are today. It's funny, how times have changed.
Back then, people just didn't create support lists out of the blue,
but tried to get buy in from the developers first.

I remember telling Stefan and Max that with just a few more macros I
could create a reasonable facsimile of a ListServ all running under
TB. I remember the first stumbling block being that they didn't want
me to use a usa.net address for the list because they wanted it to be
a multi-national list. I remember running excitedly out of the
computer room to tell my, then, wife that I had a new subscriber each
time someone new joined. I remember the day that I asked Marck and
Allie to join me in moderating hell, and then later bringing on Roelof
when Allie gave up moderating. I also remember when RITLabs announced
that our lists were to become the official TB support lists.

I feel a great sense of accomplishment in having participated in
building such a strong community. Of building friendships that
will last a lifetime. Of sticking to our guns that we were building
and managing one of the friendliest and useful lists out there. Ones
not rife with flamewars or spam, but built on the foundations of good
netiquette and people wanting to help other people.

In every parent's life there comes a time when they have to let go
and let their child find their own way. It is also time for me to
finally let go so I can move on with other things that interest me.
The last year or so I've been growing more and more distant from the
lists as I had less and less time to spend on them. Marck and Roelof
are awesome moderators and I know the lists are in good hands.

I'm officially hanging up my moderator hat and my list member
subscriptions to TBUDL, TBBETA, TBDEV and TBTECH. I do however, plan
on staying with TBOT because it's a fun list that I still get a chance
to pay attention to every once in a while.

Marck and I are working out the details of transferring all the TB
related stuff off my website to his server. There might be a few
hiccups, but finally, someone will be forced to look over some
horrendously bad code I wrote for Roguemoticons! 

While I'll be around on TBOT and via PM, I'm still going to miss you
all.

I couldn't have done this without each and everyone one of you.

And to RITLabs. Thank you for giving me the opportunity so many
years ago. TheBat is a fantastic MUA. You all have done a wonderful
job. If you ever port it to Linux, look me up, I'll be glad to test
her out.
