Dear SAS-L-ers,

In response to Ahammad's post, questioning "SAS_Learner", Toby posted,

Toby, just so.  I like to think of SAS-L as the French Foreign Legion of
listservs:  Nobody asks how you got here and nobody asks for your real
name:-)  We are all just brothers (and sisters) in arms.

I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!

Of course, all of these opinions and insights are my own, and do not
