I managed to hook on to this list at close to the very beginning in 1995.  I
tend to lurk, because for all the opinions and knowledge I may have, I’ve always
found someone else has better knowledge and has described things more
eloquently.

Aside from the tool knowledge which has always been wonderful, the best reasons
for me to stick around have been Politics and Religion.  This group has been a
constant haven, free from that which can divide us.  Regardless of our religion
or politics, we have always remained focused on what brings us together.

For that I thank all of you and I hope we can continue for at least a few more
decades.
