I think everyone has moved over to the ?new? list. I think it?s down to the 
last few days on this one. It may be up to us now and we must remember to 
turn out the lights when we leave.

I don?t recognize that attachment and I have been trying to get a handle on it 
since I got up today. It?s unlikely to be a prism and I don?t see how 
something like that can be a horizon. Care to make any wild guesses?
