Hi all,

To those who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a merry one. To those observing
other holidays, similar good wishes to you all. May the coming new year bring
good things to all of you (even if it starts off with a rough start...)

Anyway, as often happens over holidays, I'm travelling. This time, I'm not
taking a computer with me, so I will not be able to moderate the group,
including approving new messages (or replies to this one) until I return on
January 1st. Take the week off from the newsgroups, and maybe the internet
too, and enjoy your families, friends, and other things in your lives of value.
Group access will resume in a week.

thanks for your understanding.
