I sent this note to Pete when I saw his intro, but with this followup from Bob, perhaps it would be wise to mention to the list at large that discussions of automata, old and new, including Disney-style animatrons, is chartered and welcome in the news- group rec.arts.puppetry. The charter for the news- group is written widely enough to cover almost any interpretation of puppetry, and it has occasional threads on animatronics, including a discussion a few months ago on resources for builders. It's a low-traffic newsgroup (averages about 5-6 messages a day) so it takes very little time to read. Any- one wanting to start some animatronic discussions is more than welcome.

regards,
Larry Smith
