Hi Mark,
Glad you like the idea of a newsgroup. You're right, it should start
with sci*, but I just wanted this newsgroup to be with all the other
robotic ones. Guess that would be yet another question to ask the list,
but that would come at a later time. I am still waiting for Chiu's poll
to come back, so I can decide what the Beamers want me to do.
