During the last 48 hours or so, my ISP has periodically hurled a pile
of messages at me from so many people about my perhaps inevitable
departure from the list. Many have expressed themselves in ways that
have greatly moved me and caused me to have to swallow hard. I just
don't have sufficient command of the English language to convey my
very sincere thanks to everyone who wrote to me and who said such
generous (and in my view) undeserving things. It is indeed a privilege
to be part of such a group of people - and I thank you all for your
friendship. Of late, two people in particular, have tried very hard
and for nmot the first time to persuade me to join with you in 2001 in
Colorado. Believe me, I was with you in both Portlands in spirit and
if I can, I'll try to be with you at Breckenridge - in person. This is
subject of course to the protocols of an interloper from across the
pond horning in on your parade and the way things are going in my
garage, if that bl***y Triumph still persists on running on just five
cylinders instead of six, I might just bring it with me as well and
you can all play a part in getting it sorted<g> We can then all go for
a nice, comfortable, high speed ride around the mountains on the wrong
side of the road, five up and in comfort.

Thanks again guys - and gals, I'm still in lurk mode on the main list,
so I haven't gone just yet.
