Karl, your having taken on this huge task -- and doing it so
thoroughly -- warrants a huge hunk of patience from us all. Even
though the list is relatively quiet, your efforts are very much
appreciated and recognised, I'm quite sure. And not just by us -- I'm
sure Blenda is very grateful that you're taking such care to remove
things that are not for public consumption.

And it sounds like you're very close to the end -- which is notorious
time for losing heart and wanting to just move on to newer jobs. So
please know that we're cheering you on.
