Me too.  I am reading this group for over a decade now, with much
profit, and you rarely see my posts because groff just works for me!
and I sincerely hope that it stays alive.  I need it.

   What I miss and cannot implement on my own is exactly what was
mentioned in another mail as a todo-list.  Sometime I have to use TeX
and LaTeX.  No problems with that, no reason to start a
groff-versus-tex-war.  But a monoculture always is the worse choice.  If
I only knew what a mere user like me could contribute.

Thanks to Werner and this group, always when I asked for help, I got it!
