Hi all, I'm scheduled for major back surgery on January 23rd, and expect to be out of commission for a while, though hopefully not too long. I manage a number of surname lists, one location list, and one topics list, most of which are very quiet. I've just asked for an assistant list admin on my most active list, so that one may be covered, but most of the rest of them may need sitters at least for a while. I'll send the set of lists as soon as I can, which will probably be sometime tomorrow. -- Mary
