I've always thought I should write something like what Clem wrote, as quoted bellow. Being exposed to the Internet for more than 12 years I have subscribed to many many different lists. Most of them are very good lists with very good professionals and amateurs. I've learned a lot with all of them.
The truth is: I've never participated in a list as enriching as this particular one. It seems behind each sundialler there is a generous genius always willing to share his/her ken and wisdom. We have seen so many different things gravitating around the all-encompassing theme "sundialling"... Each one more interesting than the other. And our compassionate moderator keeps his eyes closed while we surf awry and away. He knows eventually we will all converge back to the main subject: the glorious shadows. Thank you all guys. And thank you Clem for reminding me I should say this now, not in some virtual future time. - fernando > Clem Padin wrote: > > > > I never cease to be impressed with the international character and > > >intellectual content of this list.
