dear jim
your efforts have been valiant and much more than i would have attempted at
any time in my life
thank you for having the list available when i joined ..
thanks for accepting me at face value
i have gotten to meet your self and your family
and many others who hang about the list
all been good so far...
as for people not following along the rabbit fence guidelines
well ...
it is tough job to administrate those who feel the rules dont apply to them
it is a job with little thanks
at least not from those who do not appreciate
anyway
thanks for your efforts jim ...
it has been greatly appreciated
yours
