Oh yeah, forgot about that one!  Sorry to bring up a patent issue
on-list, I'll make sure not to do that in the future.

Back to the possiblility of an agorics list, William, have you
actually set one up, and if so, where?  I'd certainly like to have a
forum to discuss such things where it isn't off topic.  Since most of
the players from agorics, inc. are on this one, I've drifted off into
it here before in the last 6 years on occasion.

Thanks,
