Are you kidding?  I think your part was just fine.

*sigh* -- now I have to check another website.  Any way you can have
it send me emails when there is action there? :-)

I completely, emphatically, positively disagree!  New members
of the group are still members of the group, with all the rights
and privileges thereof.  If not, then the group just fades away.
Maybe that is OK for some, but I've still got a lot of good CoCo-ing
(and other retro- and similar computing) left in me!

I hope you will reconsider -- at least stay subscribed and monitor

As for me, I am extremely grateful for the contributions you
made towards my understanding of the 256-color composite mode.
Which reminds me that I still need to post some 128x192 @ 30fps
256-color video captured from my CoCo3... :-)

Anyway, I would hate to see you go -- you are a significant part of
what I have viewed as a rejuvenation of our community over the past
6 months or so.
