Actually, thank Bert. He brought it up about a month ago, I
forgot, and he recently brought it up again. I sent a message to
xmission support last night and got no response today. I doubt I'll hear
anythng over the weekend, so won't have anything else to report 'til
Monday at the earliest. If I haven't heard by Monday night, I'll send

at the moment is the end of the week.
Anyone considering quitting the list due to high traffic, please
give me a week! That's all I ask.

What ever happened to a listing of all TEC members' email addresses?
You just hit on my primary motivations for starting this list in
the first place. And, IMHO, it has been a screaming success thus far.
> How did y'all hear about getting the WDW coins? (I was out of commission with broken e-mail around that time.)
Bert found Big Al's website and asked the list if we thought $300
was a fair price for the set. Then others got involved, Big Al got
swamped with penny requests, and the rest is pretty obvious.

This is a VERY important question to me as well. The two
projects I currently have are cataloging the Lord's Prayer elongates and
working on publication of a Disney Elongates book (pamphlet, monograph,
