I should like to take this opportunity to thank all my colleagues here at ESO for an extremely dedicated effort.

I have no doubt that the outcome has been very positive and that the participants have appreciated your contribution!

And now goodbye to all Astronomy On-Line groups! It has been a pleasure to be with you during these weeks and I wish all of you a bright and promising future - in- and outside Astronomy!
