Well, I'm terribly sorry that you're leaving the list, John; and even more
worried about your finding a replacement in time.  But I have enjoyed your
terse and witty comments over the years, and it was great meeting you at our
small conlang convention in Albany.  Hope to see you on other lists, and you
have a wonderful New Year.  Thanks for giving us a link to your proverbs!
They've been terrific!
