Holiday Wishes

[Tompaleo@xxxxxxx]

Hello colleagues of the Net!  I'm baaack! (From an exasperating semester of
microbiology that relegated me to "lurk" mode).

As my first "public" message in nearly four months, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone on the List for their continuing spirit of
cordiality, comradery, and contributions (both on and off list)  to me
personally and to the list in general.  

As the holidays are now approaching with the speed of a killer comet ;-)  
I wouldlike to wish _Everyone_ a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Warmest Regards,
Thomas R. Lipka
