Jerry......any of you who have been here less than a year or so don't realy know how much time and effort Richard, Dave, Andy, and others have put into helping others. They have spent up to three hours a day on some occasions answering posts, testing ideas and solving problems over the last 4 years. They basically are seeking a rest, although I know what a loss their efforts will be to people who have come to rely on them. It is time for the torch to be passed, and I'm sure that there are still some of us who will try to help. I've become concerned that the efforts by SI to change their formats has caused some software glitches (as Jerry pointed out on the TA - 1998 thread, we've lost most of the past posts), so things may be hairy for awhile. I'm sure that the trio above will be in Cleveland, and I encourage those of you who are interested to let me know. It has been boiled down to occurring either the weekend of July 17-19, or July 24-26, and we need to know which is best for people. Believe me, if you'd been here for as long as I have, you'd understand why some of the guys need to step down.
