The kindly Rev. overheard news@msfc.nasa.gov (Unknown News

Do you have any tips for getting out of a majordomo/hypermail support 
job?

Porter, all of us are immensely grateful to you.  As usual, Porter is 
modest about the wonderful stuff he's done.  He took a raggedy-assed 
semi-idea I'd had about chartering a newsgroup for Decatur and turned it 
into reality.  I'll bet all of us have a story like that where an act of 
kindness and skill made all the difference.

Memorials to net heroes are written in electrons, but you'll have a fond 
place in our hearts forever.

I know -- you aren't dying or anything, but people never get around to 
saying thank you.
