Laurie:
 
First, I want to wish everyone on the list a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. I will be away from work, and a computer, from December 23rd
through January 2nd.
 
Thanks for the opportunity to remind everyone on the list to set your
e-mail to no mail while you are away. The following is from the Museum-L
FAQ file.
 
If you're interested in staying registered with Museum-L but you don't
want to participate actively (i.e.: can't handle the e-mail volume, not
able to read your e-mail for a period of time ...), send the following
in the body of an e-mail message to:  [log in to unmask]
 
SET Museum-L NOMAIL
 
Keep this file handy because you will not receive any messages while you
have your e-mail options set for NOMAIL.  We have suspended the annual
renewal process because the listowner was swamped each December by more
than 200 e-mail messages asking how to renew subscriptions.  Therefore,
you may go years without receiving a message from Museum-L, and if you
want to start again, send the following message to:
