<DIV><SPAN class=255335015-09062004><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Glad to see you
have taken over that list. "BD" (before dan), I saw people being chastised by
the list owner, and in fact I recall that one of our OR-Roots members was
dismissed from the list for putting what was considered "bad" stuff. It was a
piece of "oral history" as I recall.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=583375119-08062004><FONT size=2>There are two Oregon lists.
This one, which frequently sounds like a passel of squabbling siblings,

one is "Oregon-L" or something like that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
