There's no denying this group is in a sad state.
Skunkworks was one of the oldest groups which stillregularly got traffic even as the rest of Yahoo Groups withered away. I think thisis a major factor; people have other places to hang out at online.
In fact, I've seen Jim's art on several other sites,even art I never saw here. I know he was less then enthusiastic about people redistributinghis work, but at least the internet never forgets. In fact, people still talkabout him on other sites, albeit obliquely or in passing. Hell, there’sstill fan art being done, every once in a while. Considering that on average a100 people die every minute and most of us never even notice, I’d say that’s stillan accomplishment. Again, without Jim, I wouldn’t be an artist today.
Yahoo Groups is in decline, and Jim’s death no longercarries that biting sting. But we’re still around, and while we may not do muchabout it, we do remember.
Scrapper, thank you for patience and the efforts you’veput in this group. If you understandably decide to finally end it, give us a heads up. I’dlike to grab a few files and maybe even exchange some contact info with othermembers.
Yours humbly
The Warhound
PS. I'll always be glad to support efforts to have Jims works published, if the opportunity presents itself
