    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!
