I'm glad you knew this, Casey, and could tell the list.  Thanks!

Especially since I find it unlikely that Will or Emma would have seen this
message.  Doubt they're on this list, Mark.

Emma has a family emergency right now, per her LiveJournal [coffeeem] and
I believe that Will is at home, minding the ranch.

FYI:  SteelDragon Press, way way back before Cafepress, published the
first edition of _To Reign in Hell_.  Since list relevancy was brought up
earlier.  ;]
