Arrgh.. I was going to ship a note to all the 'gurus' out there, but I realized
my list of names was at least three pages long! 

Anyway, I'll be leaving SRI in a few weeks, and can't guarantee that I'll find
easy net access at Abbott Labs, where I'm headed. I just wanted to thank all 
the contributors, whether gurus or not, for all that I've learned from you. I
daresay the postings from any two or three (OK, let's pick donl, David Jacob-
sOn, and Bob Aktins) have been well worth the price of admission! ;-) 	I've
rendered many posts onto more permanent media, so your contributions shall live
on for years in some singular, published form.

I hope more  netters can take advantage of opportunities to interact in person.
I've gained much from talking with donl, Dan Allen, Shun Cheung, Morgan Conrad,
and others; besides, you can actually exchange pictures without concern over
data format..  And those fanatical enough to stop by for a visit can help me
test out the slide scanner, or the extra bedroom that has just become a small
studio. (Bring your own model.)

This account should remain active for some time, and I'll see about getting in
to check it. The remainder is the guru list I collected of folks whose inputs
I've saved over time. I'm sure I've forgotten someone very important, please
forgive me! (Oops, I didn't have Dan Allen's latest address..)

(Sorry they're not in alphabetical order..)

It would be a crazy time indeed to get you all in one place at one time with
some of your best work. We can dream....

Thanks again, and keep up the quality. It's the best newsgroup by far.
