Summary: 

I, for one, am appreciative of all the work Lauren has done on a volunteer
basis to encourage the growth of usenet.  (I remember when he was just
Lauren@ucla-security.)  I daresay that usenet would not be what it is
without his many hours of work and his willingness to be a network personality
when the situation called for it.  On occasion, he has even taken on the
mantle of an Artificial Intelligence project (or is he "she")  ...but those
were the good old days.

I was excited to hear a reliable rumor about satellite broadcast of netnews,
stunned to here it might very well be a reality and thunderstruck by the 
fact that its *here* and working.  Who do I send my $500 to...

Folks what complain about this just ain't got no sense of history.

			Thanks for everything, Lauren ...and Congratulations!
