I phrased it that way because I wanted to make the point that we are not at the mercy of any third-parties who might decide that the list should take a bullet in the back of the head. Even I myself consider myself only the caretaker, the custodian, the housekeeper. The money is nothing. The pleasure of seeing this forum stay alive through battle and giggle and slump and triumph -- that brings me more joy than I can describe. But thanks to everyone who responded this way privately and publicly. I much appreciate the generous spirit I've seen. --tim
