And, even if that would do any good, why not?  Are you too busy?  Too
important?  Too lazy?  That 'delete' function too hard to operate that
you're feeling the need to moderate?

This is not an adversarial proposition!  And further, while I am just going
on a year in attendance here -- I remember when you joined up Alan:  to
refer me to the archives is upstart-ish, at best.

I am making a suggestion to a possibility of tipping-the-hat, ever so
slightly, to a group which has given so much, to so many, for so long, so
very freely.  That's all.

sigh.  Nothing like humility. But I suppose encouraging acknowledgement
and credit where it's due is too much to ask for something you "love and
use".
