I've enjoyed having the Listserv for the past (is it really that long?) 20 years. From having ASTC provide CompuServe kiosks at almost the advent of being on line to the Listserve to the next thing, it's about sharing ideas, opinions, and keeping in touch. The Listserv has been a wonderful feature but it's all of you people that make it work. I am not sure that anyone other than Wendy imagined how well the Listserve would be received ( I almost said serve). It's been great and now it's up to us to make the next thing work for us even better.
