Rober Gainer you wrote: "Don’t feel left out George, my input may not interest Frank either" Why would you say such a thing??? Have I *ever* given you that impression? I always read your posts with interest. And you wrote: "and I am also not included in his category called most everyone, but rather have fallen into the “other” group. On the other hand when I stopped by his list last week to see how it was doing there did not appear to be much happening and I did not regret missing my opportunity to chase after the few tidbits that did appear." Oh, good. At least you had a peek. So you recognize that the posts have been basically testing. You do remember that I called this an "experimental list", right? In no way are we trying to create a schism. Incidentally, while I have your attention.... When this first came up, you said that you didn't want to join a list hosted by google because it might make your e-mail address a spam target. I looked into that in some detail. There is no greater risk on googlegroups than on webkahuna. HOWEVER, as I mentioned previously, you have, in fact, left your e-mail address (the one with fisheriestrust in it) seriously exposed. You should go to the main google search page and type in your complete e-mail address, including the 'at' sign. Put quotes around it and then hit search. And there it is --in plain sight. Most automated software for culling e-mail addresses to generate spam lists works by running through web sites, any and all, and plucking out anything formatted like an e-mail address. It may already be too late. Just thought you should know! -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
