For the record.
Having seen the aftermath of certain events unfolding this morning, and those who saw such events will know of what I speak, and not speak any more of them beyond what I have already seen...
I just wanted to let The Powers That Be know that I, for one, appreciate the work and effort that has gone into maintaining and keeping this system going. I know it is a labor of love for a small core of people with skills and resources far beyond any that I can hope to muster at this point in my life.
Thank you.

Well said.
I also greatly appreciate what Greg and Scott have been able to do here. We all have time constraints (says he who has a tiling job in a bathroom that's been half-done for about 3 years now), and would all wish for an extra 24 hours per day, but that's not going to happen. I'm amazed at how well Z and knight and all the rest have continued to work over the years.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Scott.

Not that I know what the heck you're talking about...
...but I rather think I agreee (and strongly suspect that if I *did* know, I'd agree even more).

I've been less frequent to this place, but none the less appreciative of it's existence.

Chiming in
There's even a (one o'them famous) metric for the quality of this here operation:
A couple weeks back: Yahoo finally discovered the *threaded forum* !!
a vast improvement over its previously unSearchable flat hodge podge, but a shadow of zIWE.
(Several of those are repositories for special-interest lore as cannot be found elsewhere; like, material from some of the people who built the gadgetry of interest. But Yahoo still allows the earliest material to gradually evanesce - to keep even the active forums-with-a-Purpose to an arb size.)
Get it on CD or lose it: mantra for the Age.
And yet.. and yet - their New Improved search ain't nowhere near Ours.
Thanks again, boffins.
After The Collapse...

How's THAT for an existential Mandate, eh?

They discovered it allright
A couple weeks back: Yahoo finally discovered the *threaded forum* !! a vast improvement over its previously unSearchable flat hodge podge, but a shadow of zIWE. But it's annoying as all get out. Now the threads are all at the bottom, making you scroll forever if you want to read live any sort of thread, and also they no longer change threads if you change the topic title, you actually have to start a new topic and such to get it to change threads. Totally annoying. I'm still reading it live by the number, not the thread. Maybe it works for those in e-mail, but forget it live. Brenda
