Since I hate writing things that aren't publicly editable and viewable, here is a list of draft emails underway. Consider this... strongxopia.

Thank you, 8.2.0 contributors!

Everyone who has contributed digits, mathematical symbols, or processes to the production of 8.2.0 (which is not a real number, just a combination of numbers and decimals) is to be thanked tremendously.  When we added this to the world of nonnumbers, we forgot to thank you personally, so here you are : THANK   YOU  PERSONALLY .
