Thanks to Kurt for stepping up to keep this list going. Regardless of
how forums send emails notifying us of posts and what-not, I know I
won't be using anything where I have to click a link then log on and
dig through stuff. I only do that whenever I get stumped with a
non-Pantera problem and it's not a social thing at all. You can't
replace having Mike Drew, Jack DeRyke, SOBill and many other brilliant
guys just an email away with dead-solid, reliable input.  You ask
something and you know they are going to be there.  With a forum, who
knows?  Maybe when they have time they go digging and read things,
maybe they don't. This list has been an enjoyable part of my day for a
long time now and whenever it goes down, glitches or gets quiet, I bum
out. I actually enjoy all the arguments and off-topic rants. 
Definitely a lively bunch we got here, just like the Pantera itself. 
One way or another, I hope we keep the list alive. I've been a member
of other email groups (yahoo and gmail) for many years now and I've
never heard of anyone working their butts off to keep them going. Been
a moderator myself a few times.  Not a big deal.  Someone tires of it
and someone else steps up. I just like knowing you guys are all out
there reading this list.  We are a brotherhood of sorts.  This list is
special, it is close up and personal.  Be a shame to lose it by
hand-cuffing it to POCA.

PIC32MX I2C Module correct usage of RBF bit?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of help with my I2C functions. I wrote them
several months ago to use with my PIC24/32 proje.............

4. The summary in the notification is up to one page long and it is 
exactly the same as receiving an email from this list. The only 
difference is that I have to click on the FindPost link to respond.

*** So it all looks the same to me and if we don't have to have
mailman 
slaves, wonderful.***
         I just don't have enough life to volunteer to be one
