Martin, I don't think that Glynn is/was listing contributions in value
order on what is, after all, his personal blog.

I recognize, and I'm sure many others recognize, the great work you
have done in the past, and have recently started doing again.

It is difficult enough for outsiders who speak English, such as
myself, to get involved in the community, I can only imagine how much
harder it is because you don't speak English.

I hope that you don't abandon your FOX work.

Thanks,
-Brian

Why don't you remember, for example, that I had told you immediately afterwards (back then), that it had been a statement motivated by desperate dark sarcasm??
