A challenge to Scott J, and an Audifans Fundraiser

[Robert Myers]

My God, Dan!  I almost can't imagine life without the quattro list!  Please
don't take any action which might cause me to undergo withdrawal pains.

The camaraderie and good will of the list members as a whole is exemplary
of absolutely the best of the Internet.  Yes, from time to time there are
those of us who tend to behave a bit like spoiled children (perhaps myself
among them) but overall this group of fine folk has proven to be almost the
most valuable source of friendship and expertise and helpfulness and
technical assistance and humor and everything else which makes the time I
spend reading my mail worthwhile.  I have met, face to face, a large number
of active list members at a variety of events which I most likely would
never have experienced without the quattro list and my participation in
it.  I have also "met" a much larger group of fine folk whose faces I have
never seen who I consider to be good friends in almost every other sense of
the word.  Let's keep this good thing going, friends.
