Thanks, but I'm working flat out to produce a magazine right now. My little "part-time evening job" is taking over my life!

If anyone cares, you can look here.

Wow, what an elite society! I honestly don't think I'm good enough to join! As Groucho Marx used to say, "I would never join an organization that would have me to be a member." What would you call your 500 members? The Augustan 500? I like the layout of it so far, actually. Great work, Zazu! Keep it up!

You'd be surprised at some of what passes for members. The good news is, now that I'm in charge, anybody who ticks me off gets their renewal check accidentally dropped in the shredder.

I've only done it once so far--to an SG who really deserved it--but it really felt good!

We'd call it a miracle. Right now we're struggling to make it to 100 members. Either we really suck at advertising or there just aren't that many antiquarian scholars out there.

WOW! That is cool. I am going to do a little more searching around that site. It looks very interesting and could possibly take up a great deal of my time. I like history and literature and historical literature and.... :) My big ole' 38 page treatise on King Arthur that I wrote back in college would fit right in! I am an Arthurian scholar myself. Love the tales and the historical data. That is gonna be a fun site to poke around...

me crying so hard, it is all gone but once I had my family history on PaF5 and other forms and my computer destroyed all my family history, I lost my MSN group with photos, it is all gone and the discs may have info but I doubt I could recover it.

I remember the Augustan Society way back about 10 years ago. Big hugs and I just never joined as i was poor. I had to quit genealogy because of los of my data base. I go back to Rambo, Dillon, Dwiggen and Rascon to name a few.

cries and cries

I ought to get you a copy of the current issue. There's an article about the arms of King Arthur. Next issue will have a follow-up piece on the arms of the knights of the Round Table. Largely fiction of course, but I'm one of those who suspects that deep under all the manufactured myth there's probably a real man.

I take it you are preeminent due to your first hand knowledge of so much of ancient history?

I seem to remember that there is some evidence he was an early Welsh leader and that Camelot was perhaps somewhere in Cornwall.

Contrary to popular belief, I am *not* older than dirt! :old:

I do, however, still remember the first day we tried mixing it with water and discovered mud.
