To Jennifer Nord and the list.
My apologies for the incorrect information I sent yesterday concerning a
discussion of nails. I stated that a discussion had occurred on this list
in the past month, but I was wrong. It was on Arch-l (I obviously belong to
too many lists). The outcome of that discussion was a posting which listed
a nail bibliography. It is copied below.

Dear List Members:
Below is a cumulative list of nail references I
received. None have been checked to see if they exist
and some entries are sketchy. Also had to cut some
out since I sent this message already and had it
bounce back for being over 300 lines.
Many thanks to the following:
Wayne Neighbors, Jane L. Brown, John Staeck, Carl
Steen, Mike Jacobs, Mark Anderson, Michael Nash, Rich
Green, Richard Stallings, Anna East, Jim Ambrosino,
Smoke (Michael A.) Pfeiffer, David Jurney, Michael
Strutt, William Adams, Marti Latta!
Many apologies to those members who will be adversely
affected by this large message.
Thank you!
