No problem.  I just got back from California, and wasn't reading
news a lot while I was there, either.

Hope you found the EFF-Austin sysop workshop today useful,
what with the assembled lawyers, who represented a large
fraction of all the relevant legal expertise in this country.
Ed Cavazos gets the green hat on this one.

I suspect the recent developments in the SJG case may help lots of people....
EFF did good on that one, I think.

I think the directors and advisors are in agreement that more posting is good.

Looks to me like you have found your volunteer niche, nudging us through
this newsgroup.  Prentiss can do that to some extent, but not too much,
without losing his moderatorial objectivity.  You can say what you please.
Please do.

Thanks,
John
