Dear fellow rebolutionaries,
I would just like to say that I really appreciate all the help that I have
received on this mail list during this past year. While I am still just an
amateur, I have made a lot of progress thanks to all your kind help. And
as a result my computer is becoming increasing productive in my work. I am
accomplishing things with rebol that I never dreamed I would be able to do.
Mostly my posts have been asking, and not giving much in return. Yet your
answers have always been most gracious. Often you have even made a working
function for me, as an example. This is the best email list I have ever
been on. Many, many thanks to you all.
May God bless you all with a very merry Christmas!
Louis
