Thank you to everyone who's posted in response to this (all the
familiar suspects -- Pete, Ben, Paul, Stanley, Wayne). This is
exactly what I'd hoped for, and I need to say that one of the
things I'll miss about being a listowner (I'm passing these two
lists on to others, after 15 years or so) is the astonishing
helpfulness of folks on this list.

As the new owners take over, I'll try to tell them how useful
this list is. I expect they probably won't believe me.
