Hi Gordon with your diligence and patience,you made this list what it is 
today.I can remember some very stormy and colourful times,that without you 
steering at the helm this list could have taken a very different direction 
Thanks  and the compliments of the season to you. Dennis Klinker

Hi Christina:

When I saw the subject header I was worried. Was it genuine or sarcastic? 
When I read your message I was glad to see that it wasn't sarcastic :)

When I got this list started I just wanted some interesting email to read . 
I certainly accomplished that :)

A big thank you to everyone from myself as well :)

Gord Holtslander
