I'm always sorry to see people leaving the optacon-l list, but we all have our own personal reasons for either leaving or staying. This list has a history of high volumes of messages followed by weeks or months of silence. All I ask is that you stay on the topic of the Optacon and related matters. I'm also confident that things will quiet down again very soon and people will start wondering if the list still even exists. <smile> But, as I said earlier, whether or not a person decides to leave the list either temporarily or permanently is a personal one. People come and go all the time. That's about it from here.
