Greetings and welcome! It's been a long time coming...and here it is: synth-blog! I am trying this as experiment in sharing my e-group "synthaissance cryobenthics" with more people, as well as a way to provide access to the archive of previous postings. I will now post all synthaissance messages to this blog, as well as to the e-group; as I learn what I am doing with this and have time to do so, I will gradually post the entire synthaissance archive, from Feb. 2002, into the archives on this blog site. Feedback and posting materials welcome...the more the merrier!
