Thanks for your major contribution to ColorForth,
I'm still thinking of the implications of what it means, and
escpecially for the code I and others have with less in it.

I wanted to let you know that the list is indeed really quiet,
but I believe a lot of people are still checking/reading it daily.

I also wanted to inform you that I have a chat channel for colorforth, it is
also fairly quiet, Wednsday nights 19:00 - 22:00 GMT I'm almost always there
for questions and discussions where I can help. I am always on the channel
and can often be reached there well.

it is #c4th on the IRCnet.

And thanks Mark for your confirmation of the issue.
I know you're really busy at the moment.

With kind regards,

Tim Neitz.
