Tim and Geoff,
Just so we're not confusing issues here in this thread, the UWF
announcement tomorrrow has absolutely nothing to do with aliens, Ponce de
León, or the San José.  Our announcement relates to Pensacola and a
newly-identified terrestrial site of considerable archaeological import,
and I can assure you all that it is wholly professional and legitimate.

Please just keep an eye out, and I'll try and post a link here on this
listserv as soon as I can tomorrow.

Regards,
John
