I want to offer my congratulations to the newsgroup participants for the outstanding quality of the posts that have been appearing here of late. Whatever positions you have taken, it can be asserted without fear of contradiction that the posts are provocative and well-reasoned. Thank you! Also, thanks to the many participants who have responded to the Roll Call. I should remind those of you who want to make contact with others in similar fields, of similar interests, or inhabiting local regions that the easiest way to do this is to post to the public board. However, if I have the time, I will be glad to do a search for those whose interests are SHARPLY defined or whose locale is smaller than a few hundred square miles/meters. To do this, I ask the others whom I believe to be in your community of interest to contact you. That way confidentiality is maintained. One small point: when preparing either original material or including an earlier post in your message, please adhere to a character-per-line limit of around 70 characters. More than that and you violate margins, which necessitates all sorts of editing on my part. Also, if you cannot use rn or nn to mail to the newsgroup, you can and should send your mail to hlab@milton.u.washington.edu, not cyberoid@milton.u.washington.edu That saves me a step. FINALLY...I will be heading to Europe on Saturday, for two weeks overseas and a presentation at the Siemens/Munich IN CYBERSPACE event (11-13 April), on which I will report fully on my return. In my absence, Mark De Loura (madsax@milton.u.washington.edu), my co-mod, will be handling the pleasant chores. Please send mail to him if it has to do with sci.virtual-worlds (roll calls, queries, postings, etc.). If you have HIT Lab issues, please send them to me and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thank you again for all of your good wishes, well-taken criticisms, and general enthusiasm and positive vibrations. You are wonderful people to serve. May the Network be With You.
