I don't think enough could be said in praise of the efforts of Todd and Suz.
LUGNET has been a huge success since its inception. They have run LUGNET with
a professionalism that would be the dream of most commercial websites. From
its pre-natal stages, everyone on RTL looked forward to a "Home" the web. I
don't think anyone could have anticipated the depth and breadth of LUGNET as it
stands today.
To Suz, my very best wishes for LUGNET in the future. I'm sure the transfer of
responsibilities will run seamlessly.
To Todd, my very best wishes for you in your endeavors. My only regret is that
we have yet to meet.
