   While we never really know what the future will hold...   I'd guess   
   I'll still be around to hear you admit it... :)   I still monitor the   
   genealogy echoes, empty as they are...    I fully expect to be one of   
   ones finally turning off the lights, when/if that time comes.... unless

   that was one of the reasons Dan invited me over here... ]
