Thanks for the kind words. Just to give you some perspective, I'm a  
retired hardware engineer and a reluctant convert to coding, but much  
enjoy Perl - Larry Wall has a major intellectual accomplishment in what  
he's achieved here, IMHO. My eyesight and coding skills are'nt up to much  
these days, but I like to encourage the Open Source movement where I can.

OK, if you've any suggestions please let me know. Have no trouble joining  
(and abandoning) lists and forums. Most of this is off the top of my head,  
as you've probably gathered, and would need a good deal more focused  
thinking to yield a practical outcome. My fear is that the younger  
generation may not be up to it. Richard Stallman is undoubtedly the sort  
of fellow I'd find it impossible to get along with on a personal basis,  
but he's been a treasure for the OS movement and the XYZ Gens may never  
produce his like.

Hmm, an interesting thought, and thanks.

Cheers
