Danny - your passion for naming features on the Moon scares me a little for I was involved in the cleanup in the mid-70s after an official IAU period of adding...
Sir, my hobby must be the "Wilkins syndrome" ;-) (say: "a less-known peculiar moon-related hobby"). I wonder how many there are like me... (making huge...

Hi Anthony and the rest. One of the recent viruses pretends to go out through the Yahoo groups as well as your own ISP. I received two copies (one from myself)...
