No. Please don't. It's wonderful to have wit pop up where one grows
accustom to scholarly insight.

Your presence (and many others) on this list has meant a tremendous amount
to me. This is my favorite email list, and you are a large part of that.
The mix of field observations from novice to expert, with a powerful dose of
knowledge to explore and clarify from the very knowledgable on this list,
has provided an great learning experience. Observing the process by which
identifications are explored and ferreted out has helped me become a better
observer in the wilds.

Thanks.
