Dear Colleagues; I have taken the unusual step of attaching the complete subscriber list for this list server and sending it to everyone. I do not feel that I am giving anything away by doing this because anyone who wants to can get the same list by using published instructions to query the list processing host computer. I am distributing the list to everyone in the hope that you will check to see if those of your collaborators, friends, students, etc. who ought to be on the list are indeed on it. As you can see, the list has grown to over 300 subscribers. Many names are, however, conspicuous by their absence. There are events and activities on the horizon in which every small-angle scatterer will want to participate. These include significant international meetings, standards activities, and just plan educational chit chat. It would be nice to have everyone on board when these come up. The experience with the list server to date has been that it does these things quite well. A number of people whom I have encountered in my travels have thanked me for doing this. The number of people who have been moved to unsubscribe has been relatively small. The number of glitches with accidental posts has been modest and I am taking steps to reduce the more egregious cases when they crop up. The list processor software has, however, deleted a number of people because of problems with E-mail addresses. This happens when accounts lapse, when they move from one host to another, or when a server is off line for an extended time. With all of that as background I hereby ask each one of you to examine the list to see if your colleagues who ought to be subscribed are indeed subscribed. Please pass the suggestion that they visit SAS Worldwide at http://www.nist.gov/sas and that they consider subscribing along to those who might be receptive. I want to thank all of you for your support so far and I hope that you will continue to seek help and share your activities with others in the community. Your suggestions (and especially your offers of help) to improve the service will be, as always, highly welcome. Best Wishes .. Dr. John D.
