A good bunch of quiet but very dedicated people.
Please let me know if you have updates on any of these addresses.

I just added Frank, too.   And as you can see, John Straube is right 
at the top of the list.

Rules?  Rob Tom wants RULES?!?  Well, we don't have much in the way 
of rules...  In the very beginning of GSBN several years ago, we did 
kind of lay out some ground rules.  Unfortunately, i didn't start 
archiving the digests until sometime around March '97, and my brief 
search of the old stuff didn't turn up the basics that we had agreed 
on way back when.

What I remember is that each Official Straw Bale Group that became a 
member of GSBN (SBAT, CASBA, SBAN, etc) is allowed two 
representatives on this list.  There were also provisions for other 
folks - researchers, Last Straw editors, and other loose cannons like 
RT - to be included.  The idea was not so much to have a general 
discussion group (we've certainly achieved *that* goal) since there 
are other forums like the SB list for that, but instead to keep 
various groups around the world involved in building with straw in 
touch with each other and the latest research, techniques, codes, and 
other developments.

By the way, GSBN stands for Global Straw Building Network.  (The "B" 
is not "Bale".  This allows us to talk about non-bale methods also.)

Someone else here at the beginning may have a copy of those early 
discussions.  I believe the gist of it was distilled and included in 
an issue of The Last Straw several years back.

Rob Tom, of course, was conscripted without his knowledge and against 
his will.  If he ever tries to get off the list, Duckchow or I will 
immediately re-subscribe him using one or more of his multiple email 
addresses/personalities.
