Sounds reasonable - will do...

One thing few folks realize is that one reason SNIPPETS was neglected for
so long is simply because it could be. In the beginning (i.e. pre-1980),
code, bug reports, and enhancements came in at a pretty brisk pace. By
1997 when I made the last ZIP archive update, the volume had slowed. Since
then, I may have gotten a dozen SNIPPETS-related messages in a busy year,
most of the just telling me that HASH.C had a flaw. I knew the site was
still useful because I was still seeing hit rates over 10,000/month, but
there was no feedback!

Likewise this past weekend. I can see from the hit counter that folks are
checking out the new pages, but no one's saying anything. Criticism,
kudos, they're all the same - any feedback is useful. With no feedback
it's up to me to decide whether the site remains relevant enough to be
worth my effort. As I said, after getting the C++ site pretty much all the
way up yesterday, I simply lacked any incentive to continue that much work
at such a frantic pace if no one really cared.

Hopefully, the new conferences will revive the sense of an active
contributing community to regain some of the old momentum.
