Xmas greetings to all

[Kirk Reiser]

Hello Folks:  I would like to wish everyone here a very Merry Xmas and
a Happy New Year.

I would particularly like to thank everybody that has helped work on
the various speakup projects.  I really appreciate your involvement
and progress would be much slower without your assistance.

I would also like to thank all those that take the time to carefully
read through the mailing list questions from newbies and provide
thoughtful and complete information.  You really make this place a
more enjoyable place to get information.  It really helps me as well.

I hope we all have another good year and make progress on our various
undertakings.  You have all made my life much more enjoyable and
fulfilling.  So, once again thank you all and have a good holiday
season.

  Kirk
