I'm very sorry I can't include your name. The letter has already been mailed. I was hoping that this wouldn't happen. I tried to give plenty of notice.

Post 281 by me was the post that ended all further inclusions because at that point the letter was printed and placed in an envelope. Shortly after that I mailed it. I'm sorry.

John, let me add my thanks and a hearty "well done!".  Did you count the number of signitures?  I suspent I'm not the only one who would like to know what the final tally was.

Now that the letter is sent I can talk about this thread.

The first thing to make clear is without CW's sanction of this thread by not moving it and letting it continue they have shown great forbearance and thoughtfulness.

Second the forum as listed in this thread has been wonderful. The simplicity of the postings made the work in managing this very simple. 

Third I don't feel that I should be getting any particular notice here. It was and is a forum undertaking. I feel very strongly about this.

Forth I am the grateful one for the forum allowing me to do this. Without the support and cooperation of the entire forum I couldn't have done anything.

Fifth your suggestions have been extremely helpful.

And finally sixth no one has made a negative comment in any of the threads.
What has happened is the forum has come together over a single issue. One that the forum has shown extrema tolerance and care in its postings. That alone is to be treasured. It has happen for a sad reason but it can't be forgotten that it happened.

Let us all remember Ba Midi for as long as this forum exists.

I procrastinated about adding my name to the letter, as I had not really communicated with Billy in my short time on this forum, but had read many of his posts, and identified with, and learned from, him.  I felt disingenuous to join in.
 
 
It was something BitFlipper shared that made me want to add my name.  Your later post made me realise that I was right to.
 
Thank you both.

No I didn't but I went back and did so. I get 256 including my name. Keep in mind that many members haven't seen the threads. However the number is far more than I had expected. Its a very healthy number.
