I'm here too - just a bit on the "too busy" side to do much more than keeping an eye on what's going on in the list. I work in a small Science Centre and we are opening a new building with exhibitions soon. We are slowly expanding the staff and the latest addition in the staff also thinks we need a sundial on the roof of the new building :-) Sadly it can't be a 24 hour sundial as the old building will cast a shadow on the roof at night.

Hey, hey, I just wrote in to the list a day ago. :) But I'll grant you that some of us are rather quiet online because we are too busy with other things-like cataloguing sundials in museums.

I've just noticed that, as long as I remember, there is no female participation in this mailing list. As I study in the Astronomical and Geophysical Institute at the University of Sao Paulo, where we lack not of the gracious presence of women - there are more men here, but women are expressive too - I strange their absence from our astronomical inquiries and conversations. Maybe there is some truth in that old cliché of men being more prone to math and abstration than them?
