Beachcombers response and this list

[Beau McCrury <Beau.McCrury@ucop.edu>]

Nice going Rich, catalog numbers and everything!  I'm sure this will be HELL
to find but at least it's a start.

I've noticed too with this list that often times questions don't get immediate
responses.  Either people who are monitoring the list at the time don't care,
don't have the answer, shy or what-have-you but with a little perserverance I'm 
getting very good results from this list.  Hang in there buddy and thanx again:)
