I'd like to add my thanks to Mark for feeding my addiction for all these
years, and encourage all of you to note that he does this purely as a
labour of love, and ask each of you to think about clicking the 'donate'
link at the bottom of this email to help fund the infrastructure (server,
internet access, disks, etc) that Mark has so graciously provided for lo,
these 30 years.
On another historical note, the team.net domain turned 28 this past May
11th. Team.net was registered by our friend Bill Caloccia and is now held
(informally) in trust for the team.net community by myself. As an early and
memorable domain name, it has attracted many offers well into five figures.
The answer remains, as always, it is not for sale.
