Ron & Chris-

If the funds are low, let the list members know.  There are plenty of silent
members who would be more than happy to cut a check to shore up any fiscal
problems.

Perhaps you two underestimate the importance of this list.  I for one have
utilized this list and the information provided by its list members to not only
benefit my own crusade but have gained monetarily through having the needed
information at work.

Just let us know guys and you'll be surprised what revenues will pour in.

I don't begrudge Gail for her point of view but personally I have no
problems with the way the list is being administered.  In fact, let me take
this opportunity to say thanks to Ron and Chris for their efforts and time.

I don't need no hat but would be happy to make a contribution to the list
as was done during the "Farewell to Gerry" fundraiser.  Just say the word
and the cheque is in the mail.

This list is worth 1000 times Ron and Chris' list administrator's salaries
:-)  Seriously, I don't think too many of us would dispute the tremendous
value of The List.
