Dear All, Further to Peters' email to the list regarding Britishmining, maybe I should clarify after reading it and set the record straight. I do hope no one thinks Britishmining has been set up to compete with mining-history, since this could not be more wrong. Thank you all who have requested participation.

Date: 20/01/02 To: <A HREF="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]</A> Dear Peter, This could possibly be my fault by description since Britishmining is very public, the system requires the signing on process the same as mining-history - which is private in exactly the same way. The only difference being in the condition and terminology parameters set by Aol who kindly make the system available free of charge. As said before, the only real difference is that the comms. methods are numerous with the method being chosen by the participating members. Co.Owners are being chosen out of new members, so the whole system is democratically operated/run: additional new members either receive an invitation from the Quorum or approach me or the Co.Owners - a true network situation. Wouldn't it be interesting to be able get access to all lists from one webpage! Not impossible, and a very valuable integrated tool. Regards, Bernard
