I don't consider sending this kind of message to the list pollution. It's good to take a step back from time to time and remember that almost all of us volunteer here, even if we get paid to work w/ Lucene. I am constantly amazed at the Lucene community and what it has to offer in the way of ideas, support and for, lack of a better word, niceness. The sentiment is definitely appreciated and it is good to know we have happy users.

FWIW, other ways to say thanks include:
1. Contributing docs, patches, help to others when possible.  See 
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToContribute
2.  The ASF gladly accepts donations, since it is a non-profit.  See 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/contributing.html

Of course, neither of these are requirements for participation, but since you asked, I thought I would offer.

Cheers,
Grant

Hi,

I have got invaluable help from several people of this list.
Unfortunately I couldn't guess the email of some of you.

So, many thanks to all who have helped me.
Merry Christmas and a Hapy New Year to you all.

(Perhaps someone comes up with a means to say 'thank you'
without 'polluting' the list for that and without
sacrificing privacy of the email addresses.)

Helmut.
