Methinks we are terribly remiss in failing to appreciate and express
appreciation to you for all that you do for PLUG and for all of us, 
including in your work in attending to the PLUG website. 

There is no reason or need for you to apologize, Alan. 

The only apologies that are needed are for any and all complaints 
and/or criticisms of either the web hosting (which is donated) 
and/or your generous giving of your time in serving as PLUG webmaster.
