It occurs to me that running Mudcat is a pretty massive undertaking as well, and one that I hope we don't take for granted. The internet in general is pretty astonishing. I was thinking of you all today and how amazing it is to be able to communicate almost instantly with people in all corners of the world, and then reflecting on the actual physical distances involved, and how enormous the earth really is in that sense. Think how long it would take to walk from California to Maine, for example--but people in Maine will be reading this seconds after I post it, if they're still up this late. Truly a miracle.
