(meteorobs) Meteorobs - skipping meteors -Addendum

[Lew Gramer]

FYI, when Bob refers to "the file section", he is talking about the Files 
feature of our companion Group on Yahoo! Groups. As many of our readers know, 
'meteorobs' is really an email List operated at the domain meteorobs.org.

However, 40% of our readers actually subscribe instead to a Yahoo! Group I set 
up years ago, also called 'meteorobs'. Posts to the Yahoo! Group are sent to 
the email List, and all posts to the email list appear in the archive of the 
Yahoo Group. The Group is in effect a "Yahoo mirror" of the actual List...

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/meteorobs/

Unfortunately, Yahoo! Groups does NOT allow me to give our non-Yahoo readers 
access to this File feature. So Bob, you may actually wish to upload your PDF 
document to some other publicly-accessible Website, then post a link to it 
here on our list. Otherwise, you will reach our 450 Yahoo! Group readers, but 
you will miss out on our 650 other 'meteorobs' email List readers! :)

Clear skies,

Lew Gramer
