Scott,

I just wanted to publicly thank you for the effort you've invested in  
keeping the list focused.  For those who don't know, Scott originally  
volunteered to lend me a hand in his spare time after wading through  
50 messages on bread and cheese trying to find something related to  
Mac OS X!

Here's the message where I accepted his offer:

Thanks again, Scott:  I hope you don't mind if I consider you a  
moderator emeritus in the future?

I haven't yet decided whether it makes sense to look for another  
outside moderator or to see if someone at Omni has time to take this  
on, but if anyone would like to nominate someone else as a potential  
moderator please let me know.
