Randolph would be the 'obvious' pick, but as he didn't volunteer then,
perhaps he doesn't wish to do it.
I echo his feelings re the wonderful job Allison has done. I was in the
original bunch then dropped out due to some flaming war, but returned to
enjoy the richness of comment, the diversity of talent, and the daily
reminder that the world is host to a lot of talented people.
Thank you all, then - but most of all, Allison.
