Hi Gordon !
I'm still under the shock. Your message has
a bitter taste.
So many list-members have already written to you
to express their thanks for all the incredible job you did for us during these
last years. I join them to express my gratitude: like many of us, the exchanges
and generosity of members of this list have fed my curiosity and need to learn,
progress and develop my abilities in the alt-photo process field. Even if I am
not a super-active participant, when I turn on my computer and e-mailsoftware, I
directly go to the alt-process-l (with a l and not a 1 as for many years
you kept on repeating in your regular "Alt-photo reminder and joke"
posts).
The list is a kind of family for me and I learnt
to know the various personalities of my "sisters and brothers" under the kind
and efficient supervision of "Uncle Gordon" !
Now, I presume that you are going through hard
times and I want to wish you all the courage you need to give a new direction in
your life. I lived a very similar situation some years ago and I do think that,
as difficult as they are, these breaks generally help us to advance a giant step
in our lives. So, Gordon, our thoughts are with you to positively get
through these hard times.
About Yahoo Groups, I join Paul Viapiano : yahoo
groups don't have the same unformal fluidity of communication than discussion
lists and I'll be ready to participate with a little money to have a server
installed on one member's machine.
All my best wishes again, Gordon, for the coming
times,
Alternative cheers from France

ps : sorry for numerous mistakes and typos : my
frozen fingers just miss the keyboard!
