Excuse me, Gary and others, but I would be remiss if I did not write the following. I wish to offer my most sincere appreciation to Allin for all of the effort that he has put into the administration of the list over a period of many years. I don't think that listmembers appreciate the scale of his participation: for instance, there were many occasions in which he received over 30 messages per day off-list in connection with AC decision-making. He was also undeservedly the subject of off-list abuse and accusations. Participating on the AC was truly more than he had bargained for when he agreed to serve, but serve he did. I wish I could tell you more about the extent to which Allin has assisted the list. And, in addition, he has served as maintainer of the OPE-L Archives at the ricardo serve - surely a thankless job. If we had such a medal, I would gladly and unhestitatingly nominate him for the "Order of the Hero of the Outline on Political Economy List" medal. I will miss his advice and counsel enormously but I continue to highly value him as a comrade. In solidarity, Jerry
