Jon-
This saddens me to hear:-( My first inclination is to say don't abandon ship (if
you can relate to that analygy;) We need *more* sites like yours and Julie's
A.B.S. (who has also shut down for a while at least).
But I undertstand that you gotta do what you gotta do and whatever you decide, I
(and my passenger cars;) want to personally thank you for providing the BAYLIT
site to AFOLs. Many projects couldn't have been completed without you{:^D
