[john_re]

PPS:  SanFrancisco, in whose area the BA in BALUG is, was the location
of a very famous movie.   That's a note for readers who mightn't be
familiar with the source of the quotation in the "Help Wanted"
announcement below.  It's a very famous line, tied closely to the city
of Saint Francis.

Oh, well, upon rereading my announcement (for about the hundredth time)
once it came through the list, I conclude I should send this just sos
everyone knows the announcement was sent by a _member_ of BALUG, not by
official BALUG management.  For the humor perception impaired.  ;)

My humorous cajole/invitation to get someone to record or stream the
BALUG talk.
Are you interested in doing the recording? Or attending?
