BtZ Meta Thanks

[Mark Kohut]

Imagine the Group BtZ42 Read as if it were Slothrop's bandwidth.

Then imagine all it takes is for us to keep on keeping on when we get to
the end
of the BtZ42 Read, overcoming the dissolution of the physical bandwidth
that was
Slothrop, in fact perhaps growing a little as word spreads---tell your
friends. Again.---
and the now inadequately named BtZ42 Read (but nobody's gonna change the
name
since we believe in cause and superstition) might live forever like Byron
and, so far,
the Plist itself.
