["Christopher D. Rickett" <crickett at lanl dot gov>]

hi all,

i would like to say thanks to Steve for his effort in getting this patch 
cut and for all those who've helped in testing, providing feedback, and

i will try to keep up with the mailing list so i can help with any issues 
that may come up.

Chris
