A little sad to not see more responses. I have enjoyed this list for many years and occasionally found good help and advice. I appreciate the willingness to help others that come through in almost any response on this list. It gives me hope. These types of community connections are important. Amy - thank you for having created the spark. Rich - thank you for everything you do to just keep it going. Everybody else - thank you for occasionally helping out a fellow member of this Western Mass community when you respond to a post.
