Wow, a lot of names I'd forgotten!
I think I wandered into the saloon in '96 (?).  I remember posting a message 
welcoming Dr. Ted to the group.
The Listmeister refers to himself as the saloon keeper.  Back in the day, he 
really was.  Some of the brawls were impressive!
A much more genteel group today.
A big thank you to Brian for continuing this (mostly) happy family and to 
all a Happy New Year.

Like ernie, mostly silent,

Michael Gardner
