NavList:

Frank,

I should add my thanks for having the foresight to set up this alternate
site. You did indeed, suffer many slings and arrows and in a few cases,
accusations of undermining the former list. I strongly suspect that you are
not the sort of person who takes delight in being right all along, however,
you should realize some satisfaction in the knowledge that you have
preserved the group and kept the lines open. When all is said and done,
nothing has changed. While we can lament the passing of our old friend web
kahuna, life goes on. Discussions are ongoing, questions (and sometimes
hackles) are raised and answered and the exchange of information continues
as it did before. Same group, same exchanges, different venue. Actually, an
improved venue because there are no blackouts.

Good on ya mate.

Robert
