I'm still around, though I've been so busy with work and
personal life lately that I often catch up on 3 or 4 months
backlog of mail in a weekend.

The bitch of it was that I was just in England a couple days
ago - but I went on such short notice that I didn't have a
chance to arrange to get together with any of the Brits on
the list.  Or for that matter, to see if Hawkwind was
playing.  :)

Anyway, the list is pretty old at this point.  12 years?
Started in '90, and we still have a surprizing number of the
people who signed onto the list within the first 6 months
(or the first 6 hours, for that matter, if Ben, Stu and/or
Paul are still around).
