I also want to thank Wayne for all he has done for Hockey-L over the decades. I hardly post
to Hockey-L (or anyplace), but I do still enjoy reading what other others post. I also still use
the archives for research, as many times I am able to find what I'm looking for in them, so I
hope that they can be saved as well.
