Hi Everyone!  "So I'll second (or third or whatever) the call and say,
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"  Robbie and Jody and Matt have
plenty to do as it is, so let's say a big "Thank you" and not start
finding ways to give them even more work and add to everyone's inbox
clutter."  (Craig Smith)

I totally agree with Craig and other who have voiced their opinion.
The MMD is fine as it is!  I look at the list of 'entries' for the day
and see if there's anything music-box related.  If there is and I can
add to or answer the query, I do.  If not, I delete the Digest for
that day.  I don't have to wade through endless trivia and cutesy
remarks; it gets right to the point -- simple and direct!

I know how running a group or non-profit endeavor can drain one's
stamina and time, no matter how much you love the project.  There are
times when you say to yourself, "Is all this time and effort worth
it?  Are there enough people out there who appreciate it?"

So, to add further to the big "Thank you" to Robbie, Jody and Matt,
I'd say send in a contribution, however small, to show them that the
work they do for us _is_ appreciated.  Don't wait for the solicitation
in December or January -- do it now.  I am!
