Gosh, when I think how far things have come since the old ftp
archive on earthsea.stanford.edu, I can't help but be overwhelmed
by how much is possible nowadays. So many sites have come and gone;
LUGNET has endured, and for that we owe you guys great thanks for
your selfless devotion and efforts. May this site continue to thrive,
and I can't wait to see what Todd will come up with next!
