I received a message off the list telling me I should stay with it. I'm not sure
exactly how the rumor started, but I have no intention of leaving, and I never
said I was thinking about leaving. (Not that I'm trying to imply that my
contribution to the list is so overwhelmingly wonderful that it would whither and
die in my absence ;-) I am posting my response publically to dispel this rumor,
and to give the BG a shot at it. boparHa'laH pagh boparHa'laHbe' 'ach jIratlhtaH.

I'm still making lots of mistakes, so just in case:
"I thank you. I certainly intend to never give up. Perhaps you should read the
things I have written again, carefully. Everyone seems to think I am ready to
give up, but I never said so. During qep'a' someone was complaining that the list
was obviously not meant for utter newbies only. I said I like the list and I want
it to stay the same as it is. Sometimes when I make stupid mistakes I become
frustrated, but I try again."

note for Qov: I used the /'e'/ in /qep'a''e'/ and /jabbI'IDghom'e'/ to help
identify the subject of each clause, but now I can't find my reference and can't
remember why I think it should be done that way. Is it right?
