      [Dear Listers, last week, Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric fame, posted a very
      nice message discussing the Lists and Forums at Matronics.  It is a very insightful
      piece and I asked Bob if I could forward it to the rest of the Lists for
      the other members to enjoy and contemplate as well.  He gladly agreed, and so
      below I have included the text from that message.  Enjoy.  -Matt Dralle, Matronics

       "As most of you know, Matt's ISP was fiddling with some crucial 
       details for the exchange of data on the 'net a few weeks ago. 
       The Lists, Matt's business site, and AeroElectric.com got really 
       flakey. . . I was 'unhooked' from the List and all of three of 
       my e-mail services for several days. Out of business and out 
       of touch. 
      
       After two days, I was beginning to worry. I had no idea as 
       to root cause nor was there a time table for resolution . . . 
       I began to mull over plan-B options. Of course, plan-B 
       would have entailed seeking a new home for aeroelectric.com and

       certainly many more make up the population of subscribers 
       to all of the Lists on Matronics. 
      
       A few years back, Matt was besieged by legal trials 
       and tribulations over the naming of his products . . . 
       seems somebody claimed ownership of the words 'scan' 
       and/or 'scanner' . . . We here on the AeroElectric-List 
       perceived a risk to Matt's operations and came up with 
       several thousands of dollars to contribute to his defense 
       fund. We need make no greater 'investment' in Matt's 
       operations now than it takes to stand in a line for 
       a Quarter-Pounder Combo . . . or a fist full of pencils. 
      
       You and I can have no more positive influence over the 
       manufacture of pencils and hard drives than to continue 
       to purchase such things and encourage those with the 
       time, talent and resources to continue doing what they 
       do best. 
      
       Let's contribute to the comfortable maintenance of this 
       service which is probably more valuable than we know. 
       Just a little bit from thousands of us on the Matronics 
       Lists can make a big difference. 
      
       Bob . . ."
