Subject:      My Final Farewell

Well, guys, this is it.  After I post this I'll be signing off.
I really enjoyed reading this list.  It was great hearing from
so many people with different perspectives.  Hopefully, I'll
be able to get access again at some time in the future.

To those of you who sent me personal notes, I'm going to give
you a personal response (see below).  Karen and Jean, since
you sent me private e-mail, I'm going to respond privately.

Goodbye everyone.  It was fun.

--Nancy

Hello, Lurker!

Well, I'm glad to see that some people have gotten something out
of my postings and that I haven't made too many enemies despite
the considerable opinionated nature of their content at times.  :-)

To answer your question, I've taken a job as a biostatistician
with a pharmaceutical company.  I'll be involved in clinical trials
(the development and testing of new drugs).  As a statistician,
I'll be involved in designing experiments and large studies and making
sure that the Scientific Method is adequately followed as some of you
found out last winter.  :-) I then analyze the data when it comes back.
We statisticians can be found anywhere that large amounts of
data are collected and analyzed although most people don't notice
us because we tend to stay hidden behind our computers most of
the time.  :-)

Thanks, Eduardo.  As a matter of fact, I am looking into getting
access to the net again just as soon as Martin gets around to fixing
our home computer.  :-)

I'll keep my eye open for your book.   :-)

Thanks.  I'm glad to see that we'll be parting as friends despite
our disagreements.  :-)   If we were in the same room right now,
I'd want to shake your hand, but since that's impossible, I'll
just say thanks and that I wish you peace in return.  :-)

Dan, thanks.  I've enjoyed reading your occasional comments and
I know I'll miss you when I go.

Sam,

    I wish I could think of some clever Jewish saying but I'm a little
rusty on my Hebrew.  It's been a long time.  So I'll just stick with
a basic SHALOM.  Perhaps that says it all anyway.
