Well Dean Anderson (dean_anderson@...) you might want to team
up with Michael Donne (michael_donne@...) who shares not only
the same views on O.I.T. and A.M.T. with you, but also your need
for advice on how to to best go about quickly learning Homeric Greek.

You two have an awful lot in common, so I think that you might
really get along well together and be able to help each other out.
What do you think Dean? How about you Michael? Why don't
you get in contact with each other off the list and discuss it. Do
you have each other's e-mail addresses?
