Hello All!

Evan Kirshenbaum has set up a map of alt.usage.english participants:

Something like that might appeal to people here. Perhaps Chatty Cathy is
a possible organizer.

James,

Christine Dabney set up an RFC'ers map for us a while back; I have a
link to her map on the RFC site, but here it is if you're interested:

Indeed, we have had that for a long time. I am trying to remember who set
it up, can you remember Serene?

According to the text at the link above, it was Christine.

Thanks, I don't see a marker for me but I'm certainly willing and enough
of my address is in my sig. Do I need to take any further action?

It's one of those DIY things, James. Just 'zoom in' to where you live
and then 'click' on where you would like your marker to be. It will
then bring up the "Place a marker" box. All you have to do is fill in
your name, choose an icon and hit the "Place!" button. AFAIAA, the
message/link/photo fields are optional.

FWIW, I tried the link and got a warning from Zone Alarm that it is
risky because tinyurl.com is known to distribute spyware.

I don't really mind leaving a message but I don't like it being
necessary. However, It's easy enough!

Thanks!
