[dba-Tech] Recent List Changes

Thank you, Tina, for this friendly message. :-)  I remember having seen your
name several times on the list.

As for contributions, this is a free list and it exists thanks to the
generosity of it's members.  From monetary contributions of any size, to
volunteer
work, to the friendly family-like helping of each other.  We dont have a
standard contribution, and we dont distinguish between beginners and advanced
users.
We have had large contributions by people who say very little on list, we have
many people working hard behind the scenes for the benefit of all of us,  we
have people who consistently and reliably answer the most difficult questions
every day, and we have beginners that bring up very important subjects that
lead to long in-depth discussions.

So, whatever you want to contribute, in whatever way that you can, you are
sure welcome to do so.

Thanks again

Lembit Soobik
