Colleagues:
Thank you for making this another excellent year for the CYTOMETRY
EMAIL group. Steve Kelley has maintained the communication system and
allowed us to retain the high-quality, low-trash net group we value.
In all we sent out 3.5 million email messages (2500 messages x
1400 users) related to cytometry from our server in 1996. The
archive since 1990 is available on the web. Thanks Steve.

We appreciate the fact that you have stuck with this group. It has
expanded to over 1400 and grows by several each week. A few people no
longer use the daily email, but go to the web. We'd like to make the
web more interactive, BUT - that means opening it up to the public,
and that means we might get dumped on by internet
advertisers....! We'll wait and see. We are attempting to extract the
best messages from the group in categories and putting them
together on the CDROM to make it easier to find the "tricks-of-the-
trade" so often mentioned in this user group.

Thanks also for your support of the CD-ROM project. It is not easy
getting new things going....we started this email group with less
than 10 people - it seemed noone thought it was useful -
and then it took off! We need your participation for the CD project
as well. Contact me if you want to be involved.

Please come back next year (well I suppose you will if we don't drop
off your name....). Also, let people know about the group, have them
contact me or Steve and we will add them to the list. Best wishes for
the season to you all.
