Dear John,

Welcome back -- good to hear that the rumors that your body was
moldering in the grave were exaggerated.

Ben Tan, otherwise known as BenT <syncro@gmail.com> and I co-moderate
the list at the moment; please write us with any questions,
complaints, attaboys, brickbats etc.

After the struggles you've been through and are no doubt going
through now I'm very glad to hear that your soul is [still] marching on.

Yours,
David
ps -- to my knowledge you do get the prize, but my knowledge is far
from complete.  Prize is one rubber chicken -- you may claim it in
person from either BenT (in SF) or me (in Providence RI).
