    I guess you are Thom. What I stated was that I had indeed registered
a domain name and had installed and was configuring the necessary software.
But before I made an announcement or or went online with it I wanted to
talk to you first.

 TL> the echolist prior to your current efforts.

     Sorry but that doesn't quite make sense. Since our dialog in the
Moderator echo was the first we had discussed the subject. I couldn't
have made anything clear prior to that. Of those that I talked to. We
were waiting to see if and when you would be around. The point here
Thom is that when we did have our first discussion on the matter I did
try to make my thoughts and intentions clear. I tried to be open and clear
about my ideas and what concerns I had.  I hadn't made an earlier
attempt to contact you in the last several days while working on the
project because we were not sure of your availability. The consensus was
to wait until we heard from you.

 TL> I'm not privy to your communications with Janis....so I can't comment

     Understandable.

 TL> on them. cya, thom
