Hank;

I suggest you take another look at our site, which I myself have just done.

You will find that you can get into ANY part of it, save one which is
restricted to people who are in our "Friends" organization. If you take the
time to look at the very first screen for this one small section, this should
be apparent, as it asks you for a "lon-on" and tells you that if you are not a
member of FCWM, you can register on-line. The registration form, which is NOT a
market research or other survey, follows - if you select the appropriate
response. Completing this form is NOT a prerequisite to visiting our site,
which is what you told the world on MUSEUM-L.

ALL the other choices are wide open to ANYONE who wants to look at them, had
you bothered to look. These include:

General Information
Gallery Tour - New!
Institutional History and Mission
Exhibitions
Public Programmes, Facilities and Services (includes our interactive multimedia
CDs produced to date)
Cyberboutique
Education Programmes, including the CWM Trivia Challenge

oh, and Hank? There's another button that lets you get DIRECTLY into the
questionnaire if you want to become a Friend of (well, perhaps a little more
civil to???) the Canadian War Museum.

Now why on earth did I apologize to this individual? Oh well, call me Canadian.
It reminds me of an episode from one of the old Stan Freberg comedy shows on
radio (wot we used to listen to in days of yore). The show was a spoof on
westerns, called "Bang Gunleigh - U.S. Marshall Field" and, at the end of the
episode, the hero's sidekick, sudenly appears when Bang says, "Well, come on,
Pedro, our job is finished here."

At this the female love interest says, "Where did he come from?"

(Bang) "Oh, Pedro? He materializes at the end of each episode."

(FLI)  "Pedro! Are you Mexican?"

(Pedro, in strong Mexican accent), "No, Senorita, Swiss. This way we don't
offend nobody."

We tend to have the same problem.
