Happy MIM and thanks

["Smith, Kirby A" <kirby.a.smith@lmco.com>]

Thanks to all of you who have been so helpful to me and my cars.  Although
reading or skimming all the messages on the list (and replying to some)
requires considerable time, it is time well spent.  (I have just spent 4
hours of my holiday catching up.)  Now that MCMXCVIII is ending I wish you
all a happy MIM.
