Subject: Re: [OldTools] Future of the List

I have been here , silently , since the beginning or close to it. I dont
speak much at all but I have learned just about everything here and not just
hand tools ! I am absolutely not capable of hosting a Mail List , but It
would be devastating to lose the list . I am in for whatever changes need to
be made to keep this here lectronic thingy going.  I went to the donation
site and was unable to donate , but certainly will .
