Okay, this is it. This is the last time that I'm going to be
posting this list this year. (In fact, it's going to be the
last time I post this list *ever*--I'm going back to Waterloo,
so I need to clean up my files. And guess what's being erased. :-)

If you have any comments/suggestions/flames/cupcakes, I'm afraid
I won't see them until the new year.

Have a demented Christmas and a New Year! :-)

Thanx. (However, feel free to e-mail any flames! :-) :-)
