I may have missed it, and if so, somone please guide me there, BUT if I have not missed it, I'd like to have a separate discussion, preferably at the top of the list, where people could say a work or two, like:

THANKS TO THE MELLON FOUNDATION, MANY TIMES OVER, FOR THE SPIRIT, AND THE LETTER, OF THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS <MAJOR> CONTRIBUTION TO SCHOLARSHIP

THANKS TO THE WORKFORCE THAT HAS IMPLEMENTED THIS HUGE TASK WITH SUCH GREAT SUCCESS, DESPITE THE EMERGENCE OF ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE MORE PROBLEMS THAN CAN POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN CONCEIVED.

AND THANKS TO OUR COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR COLLABORATIVE AND ORIGINAL ATTITUDE AND SUGGESTIONS THROUGHOUT (COMPARE WITH DISCUSSIONS AT CHRON/HIER/ED!)
