Hi Ellis, welcome to a great place. One of the things that's great about this place is that if you actually got all of us into a room, probably none of us could get a word in edgewise, because we'd all be talking at once. But on the list - with a little help from Jackie - we're pretty civilized. Only because we haven't exactly figured out how to interrupt each other on e-mail. >>On Sun, 25 Feb 2001 15:41:46 -0500 Ellis Andersen <ellis_at_magnus.net> writes: > >Signed up today as a new member and am sending following profile (for > >Peter Osman to post?).

We've kayaked a bit in that part of the world, but never on Somes. Do you think we should make another trip to do that? > >a) NAME: Andersen, Ellis > > > >b) CONTACT: ellis_at_magnus.net > > > >h) MOST INTERESTING TRIP: Somes Sound (up the middle of Mt.
