Bob, very few can be bothered to make these sort of efforts. These commitments are an essential component of community building, caring about your peers, and caring about academic offspring, the kids. Besides your academic work, which is very important, these community building efforts you did is what shapes the future of a community. Your commitment kept the category community present, in not so easy times. Thanks Bob! ________________________________ From: Jir?

Dear Bob, The fact that you created the mailing list and moderated it for three decades was a wonderful service to the categorical community! It provided us with a much needed synergy, and helped the distribution of important news about our field. I remember a couple of instances when your role was not entirely easy, and I always felt your decisions in such situations were very well made. Thank you so much for all your effort!!!

Dear Colleagues,
From March 1990 until recently it was my privilege to moderate the categories mailing list. For a couple of years it has been my intention to pass the list to a new moderator, but I was too slow to act. Changes to IT service at my former employer, Mount Allison University, abruptly made it impossible for me to continue running the list.
Those changes were unexpected for me, but I have been away from the campus for over three years and was not aware. The IT staff at Mount Allison have always been very supportive of the list and I thank them for their more than three decades of generous assistance.
It is a reassuring pleasure to know that the list is now in the capable hands of JS Lemay who kindly accepted the invitation to revive it. I am very grateful. Moreover, there is no one better suited to the role and our community is fortunate to have him moderating. I am also very happy that the new home of the list is Macquarie.
Best wishes to everyone. I am hoping to see many of you in the not distant future, Bob Rosebrugh
