Larry;

Don't let it bother you.  Everybody is leaving for the Gathering and it's going 
to get real quiet here on the list for a couple of days.  Right around this 
time of year I try to remember to put out a reminder to everyone on the list 
that Mark Langford moderates and hosts this list on his own time and on his own 
nickel.  I usually suggest that if anyone gets anything out of the list, they 
might send Mark a contribution to help with expenses and continue his 
*excellent* R&D work on the KR, and thank him for all the time that he puts 
into documenting tips, techniques, and how-tos on his website.  His photos and 
narrative are a model for clear and informative how-to webpages.  I guess I'm 
doing the reminding now, aren't I?  ;o)  I'll try to remember to do it again 
after the Gathering though, and I'll include Mark's mailing address and PayPal 
address.  With a couple of hundred people on this list, we can hope that even 
one in ten might send something in.  Knowing Mark, he's not going to spend it 
on a coffee table book with pretty pictures.  More like some carbon fiber 
cloth, or some fuel system fittings, or aluminum plate and angle stock that he 
fabricates nifty things out of. 

Yeah, we can probably swap jokes and political stories while Mark is away and 
not monitoring the list for a couple of days.  Or maybe not ;o)  As the 
"benevolent dictator" who heads up the list, Mark is peaceable and he gives 
plenty of warning, but he does have a pretty sharp stall break ;o)
