The future of SIGforum
More important to me that you and LBJ stick around than the forum, but thank you for thinking of us so selflessly...again.

para, you are a man of resolute character. Thank you to you and LBJ for making this place. Thank you to LDD for agreeing to carry on the tradition.

I'm relieved to hear this! Thank you for keeping us free. And I don't mean monetarily.

Thank you for not only the input, but for reasuring us that we still have a home.

We're ALL behind you and anything you think is right. God be with you.

I'll second that.

I'll be riding the old SIGforum train to the end of the line.

This seems the right time to ask about the feasibility of establishing the "SigForum Revocable Trust" - or whatever name you deep appropriate.

I am not a lawyer, but I spend a lot of time helping a lot of client's think about guaranteeing a future for the things they hold dear after they are no longer able to make decisions.

Essentially, establishing a financial, logistical, and legal framework to ensure the owners interests are maintained into perpetuity.

I am absolutely sure the members would be willing to participate in the funding of the trust to address site administrative costs. The formation of the trust would ensure the green background is forever... Smile

Please let us know what we can do to maintain this corner of Eden.





Do, Or do not. There is no try.

We are all fortunate to belong here, and even more fortunate that you, lbj and LDD are thinking way ahead on our behalf.

Hats off to all three of you.

For the Forum to retain the same feel and purpose. We need to have only "One" at the top. A circular org would never fly with this group. I applaud Your forward thinking to give/sell to one person. As you imply, He is a person that obviously meets the requirements.

Thank you for all that. As others have said, it is a relief.

When I read about your health problems, my immediate (second) thought was about the forum, and your thoughts and concerns about its future are simply further confirmation of how fortunate all the members here are to have you running it.

While I certainly hope and pray you and LBJ will be with us for years to come, I'm glad to see you have a Plan. Thanks, Para, LBJ, and LDD.

As an aside: As you noted, server storage and bandwidth isn't free. If any of the three of you at any time feel a supporting membership plan is called-for in order to relieve some of the financial burden, I'd be more than pleased to do what I can do to help.

Thanks boss. We all seek refuge here. Great to know the plan is to keep it around in perpetuity. Stay safe and healthy.
