Thanks Jason!
Lately I have read only 80% of all lugnet.trains postings (and especially the
bigger ones), so i have missed the link to michlug.org, because the follow-ups
were not in the train group. And I have not read the announcements also....
But now I feel informed at last and can tell at "our" newsgroup at
www.1000steine.de/forum about the who-when-where-what... There have been
several "wow"s during the past days, but nobody knew who exactly where the
masterminds behind the Michlug GATS.
