Unfortunately, it appears that all good things must come to an end. You cannot keep on doing volunteer work forever. Volunteer work should be rotated so that no single individual has to carry the entire load forever. Maybe another experienced CCC programmer will pick up the task. Incidentally, I catagorically reject the notion that there was, is, or ever will be anything illegal about any of the CCC threads. I read most of them. Perhaps intimidation is being used here. If so, it is a sham. Bob D.
