I can forward the bounce I'll get from santafe.edu, no such user
as user-groups, apparently.

I didn't, and the person who set up and maintains the site is off
in Chile. I can't speak on his behalf. I'm not sure we've met.

Did they? What I wrote was because I thought it might be useful
and this was a place I could show it off. I didn't write much, it's
probably gone, I know I haven't contributed in a while. But I did it to
feel useful, I'm pretty sure I did it for myself, however anonymously.

It is legitimate for the person who took the responsibility for
setting up and maintaining the site for the group, yes. Apparently, Cile
in January is a better place than Eugene, and whatever consensus the group
might reach, the homepage is out-dated.

I think we should definitely postpone the rest of this discussion
until Rob forsakes summertime Chile for the cold winter rain of Eugene, at
which point I, or perhaps Rob can post this thread to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
we can see what ensues.
