Chris Kent's 2002 Digest (Contributions) THANKS!

[Im4BMW@xxxxxxx]

Hello Everyone!

I want to personally (and on behalf of Chris) thank the following individuals 
for their kind "financial" support of the 2002 Digest!  It is back up and 
running as many know by now, and the funds went to helping Chris pay for a 
new computer and associated equipment/fees to get the List up and running 
again.  Most of us believe Chris' time and effort alone are worth the 
contributions (long overdue!).

It truly feels good to help out someone when in need, even if it puts off 
buying that "short shifter" for awhile<g>.

I would like to see more activity on the List however, as it is slow to gain 
momentum again....we are only up to Number 15 (there was no 1 & 2).  The 2002 
Message Board and other lists have "stolen" alot of the traffic I'm sure..and 
that is fine, but over time we will all contribute more to the 2002 Digest 
I'm certain. 

Again, thanks Chris for your efforts!!! 

And to those of you that said you'd send something "and haven't yet", "shame 
on you"...just kidding really...if you would like to send anything please 
send to me (address below) or directly to Chris if you prefer.  

Finally, I will say that I even received money or checks from people that I 
hadn't corresponded with (the money just arrived!).  The warmth and kindness 
of human beings never ceases to totally amaze me!  

May all of you have a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with good health 
and happiness.  We all need to get together in the year 2002, and drive "you 
know what?" to the event!!!!

Happy '02ing,
