To update, I received a healthy response of signers and re-signers, and I won't be able to respond to each email (except for where there was a specific question). There was enough response that, anyway, a response email would consist of "Thanks, Bill" when they guy before's name was Bill, this guy's name was Jim. Or, if I was in hurry, "Thnjsz, Bil".

I also note that, while the Monday is still early on the West Coast (measured by the rain in the coffee cup I left on the front step), the top dogs from PSA and Beckett renewed their subscriptions (both institutions heading in the right directions, apparently), while there were no renewals or signings from MastroNet and SGC (Damn right, I take it personally). Frankly, this makes my life easier. Seriously, sometimes I would sometimes finish a particular newsletter and think to myself, "Maybe so-and-so won't like that," and that person or group would not receive that week's newsletter. (Those who didn't receive the newsletter from July to November are getting nervous).

Actually, bias is not an issue. Most know that I'm so conceited and arrogant that I hold everyone in equal contempt. I spend at least half of each day laughing knowingly to myself and saying things like, "Don't worry your pretty little head. You wouldn't understand if I told you", or "You call them experts? That's rich."

Anyway, a sincere Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays (take a pick of which applies or least offends) to all.
