all I want for Christmas - belated

All I want for Christmas - besides peace in the Middle East, 99-cents-per-gallon gasoline, the courage to JUST DO IT, and a world without global warming - is the archives back.

At this time of year, when the tendency is to ponder what we are thankful for, I am thankful for this forum, for the frequent contributors, for Don Alm, for the Don Alm-bashers, for those who give freely of their knowledge to others, and for Dien, for persevering when it looked like we might not have sowpub to kick around anymore.

But darn, I miss those archives.
It's like having your hard drive go down, taking all your files with it. You don't realize how much you had saved on there until, one day, you want to find something.

Thanks for the forum, Dien, and thanks to all who make it what it is.
