- I don't know if many of this groups readers subscribe to esoteric
- things like news.lists, but I found the following statistic interesting.
- If nothing else, it would seem to describe priorities, and perhaps a
- greater need to educate the public regarding the problems of missing
- children.
-
- Marv, perhaps you could come up with something like
- this from the fido side of things in light of your
- recent survey. It would be interesting to see just
- how many readers are on line regarding this topic.
-
- On a more positive note, I would like to congratulate the estimated
- 10,000 or so readers of alt.missing-kids for taking the time to stay
- informed about this issue.
-
- Finally, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, full of prosperity
- and answered prayers. From a parent whose child was missing for three
- years, but has now been returned, I can honestly say prayers are
- answered, and life does slowly return to normal.
