OK, I'm not gonna beg.  It'd be sad to see this group go, but it
doesn't seem like anyone is contributing anymore and I'm thinking I
should really close it down now.  Unleeeeeessss somebody steps forward
and volunteers to be the new moderator within a few days.

I have an excuse for not posting, as I haven't traveled since the
beginning of this year.  I hope the REST of you are doing better than
I am!

In case nobody wants the job, I will look into archiving our
discussions so they can be referenced later on.  Once again, thanks to
all for your friendship, your very useful input, and the dignified
manner in which you treated this group.
