Ron & Chris-

If the funds are low, let the list members know. There are plenty of silent members who would be more than happy to cut a check to shore up any fiscal problems.

Perhaps you two underestimate the importance of this list. I for one have utilized this list and the information provided by its list members to not only benefit my own crusade but have gained monetarily through having the needed information at work.

Just let us know guys and you'll be surprised what revenues will pour in.

In fact, let me take this opportunity to say thanks to Ron and Chris for their efforts and time.

I don't need no hat but would be happy to make a contribution to the list as was done during the "Farewell to Gerry" fundraiser. Just say the word and the cheque is in the mail.

This list is worth 1000 times Ron and Chris' list administrator's salaries :-) Seriously, I don't think too many of us would dispute the tremendous value of The List.
