         Bill C can correct anything I've not got quite right in 
this: GSBN is a closed list with public archives. I'm assuming the 
archives are crawled by the search engines, and though I didn't ask 
James, I imagine he found my post on a web search, or has a Google 
alert for his name set up, or something like that. If he didn't, he 
could have. If you'd like, I'll ask him. Or he might see us 
discussing it himself in the archive.

         He sent the reply to the GSBN address, which was bounced to 
Bill, as all non-member posts are. (The public archives obscure 
posters' email addresses, so James couldn't have contacted me 
directly from there - though I'm easily findable everywhere else on 
the web.) Then Bill contacted me. I wanted to pursue James' offer to 
give his side of things, and to share it with GSBN (which is only 
fair). The most hoop-free way to do that is direct contact with James 
and then sharing those exchanges with the GSBN community.

         I believe ej made a simple mistake; she may have been 
intending to forward it to the regional natural building group she 
represents (NBNE). But she's legit, and a totally cool person. I hope 
the two of you get to meet sometime, and that I'm there when it happens.


         I think I've covered everything, by inference if not directly. Have I?
