I agree with all said. In fact, I'm glad for the reminder. When Kas announced
the book was available, I said, "yeah,
right on, I'll send you a check right away." Well, I forgot, and the check,
already written out, is still sitting in a
box on top of the computer monitor--life's been a bit hectic.
In general, though, this question comes up once or twice a year from people who
often don't check either the rules or
the archives. People using the list solely as a commercial venue aren't
particularly welcome. Occasional commercial
references, such as Ted's recent message, aren't a problem. Everyone, at one
time or another, has something to sell.
Maybe this is a reflection of winter and too many unheated garages out there.

Cheers, all, and enjoy your holidays.
