There have been several "owners" of this list over the years or at least it has seemed so. There have been a lot of discussions and arguments on it as well most of which have been amicably resolved, Dealing with a product that was and somehow still is at the heart of many a career in IT it's not surprising. I for one have learned a whole lot over the years from the posts and I hope others have learned from my questions and replies. I will be forever grateful for the give & take that has been here and the civil manner in which it has taken place. Would the rest of the world acted in a similar manner we'd not have the global issues we have today.

The list has changed a lot since my first connection to it right along with the changes that have been embraced by IT. Some of those I do not look back on with such much enmity and others have produced some horror. I've my doubts about Cloud and AI is a real terror in some of it's present use though it does show promise for amazing advances. I would refer you to the PBS NOVA program A.I. Revolution.
Now in retirement I will always look upon the members of this list as friends, colleagues, and some of the better people of this world.
