Interesting that after a year this is the 1st discussion I've felt like jumping into... Here in the Santa Cruz mountains of California we've been (you may have noticed) having a bit of a disaster; & as always in big storms here have spent some time w/out power. It was quite pleasant, when the power came back after 2 days, to read my list mail... Today I'm catching up, & 2 screens of messages seems not at all excessive. In fact, the banter-info blend is exactly what I like about the list. Working at home in isolation (especially in winter storms) I sure appreciate some comradery! Sorry to be late with my 2, but my phones were out yesterday... Gael Norrington Illustrator 2001 Quail Hollow Rd. Ben Lomond, CA 95005
