It's about time that Bill's effort was properly appreciated by the list
members. He has been of great service to the entire GIS community for more
than 15 years now, and with his BBS was probably the first to make real GIS
content available in cyberspace. He is surely one of our great pioneers,
and has been an inspiration to myself and to many others. He always seems
more than eager to help colleagues, as if that assistance were its own
reward.
