I support Ken's suggestion, but I also saw a suggestion to remove host's contact information, which I hope does not happen. We have had a great community, and I think we can keep it. And I like that people can easily find me if they want to go deeper into anything I have discussed. In fact, just today I got a very nice e-mail from someone who found my LibreOffice stuff and it solved a vexing problem he had. Pretty much made my day right there.
