Bob predates me (listwise 888-) by a good number of years.  When
I joined, Tom Neff was running the list.  He is still around but
I don't have his e-mail address.  He pops into this list once in
a long while.

I should hasten to add that LBL was not the lab caught with
newd wimmen type picherz.  But we suffered just the same.

BW is being too kind - John B is actually very lazy and now promises 
to renew his efforts to get those files uploaded.  Oh drudge!
