 Yeah, we understand!  I think I speak for many non-commercial users you've
never even heard of when I say thanks for all you've done for us over the
years.  Your products have made an incredible impact in the BBS community. 
While the Fidonet nodelist shrinks, Maximus is running strong, at least in
my part of the woods.

This is very much welcomed and appreciated!   I think Maximus will live on
for a number of years, esspecially if a port is made to Linux.

 You're a swell dude, we thank you for all you've done!  For those of us
who are clueless, perhaps you can share with us future plans for Lanius! 
We'd like to know!
