I retrospect, I stand corrected.  I received two announcements from Dr.
Drum in one
day but did not notice that one was on another list (preservation-l) and
simply felt
inundated.

I will now go back to the shadows and not consume any more of everyone's
bandwith.

>In my view Dr Drum  fulfils a very useful function by drawing attention to

>Moreover the implication that he is sending a superfluity of messages to

>Most list members, myself included, "advertise" something, albeit

>a URL below my e-mail address, I am advertising that site to the list.
>Likewise Jeff Norton, while taking Dr Drum to task, is also broadcasting,
>perhaps unwittingly,  that Pouncing Pachyderm Production has a capability
>for Exhibition Design and Fabrication. Dr Drum, Jeff Norton and I are each
