[alt-photo] Re: list history

[Ricardo Wildberger lisboa]

Hi Gord,

I've been on the list for many years, already. Living in Brazil, where there's not much alt-photo  
activities, and thousands of miles far from USA and Europe, the list has been, if not the only, certainly the most intensive, effective and competent way I have avaiable to be in touch with the alt-photo world. Thank you, so, for this wonderful initiative of yours, for the years you managed the list and, also, thanks a lot to everyone of you who make this list the treasure it realy is.

I wish a long life for the list and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you.

Ricardo.
