http: //mpfwww .jpl.nasa.gov/mgs/target/CYD1/index.html
(This Message Board won't parse the link properly because of the weird "//mpfwww" field, so I had to add an invalid blank before and after this field to display the link in this message. To use the link, select and copy it into the URL field of your browser, remove the two separate blanks, and hit "return". Sorry for the inconvenience. I just checked and the link is valid once it is reconstructed properly.)

And most people seem to appreciate that Meta Research does not use its site to "advertise" -- no pop-ups, ads, adware, or spyware. We do not harvest e-mail addresses of those who visit our site or target them with ads.

When it comes to other sites, we try to set a good example, and that's about all. -|Tom|-

The e-mail list needs updating because people are added and removed so often. We also want to get the on-line EME notes up to date, arrange an occasional chat, and make other improvements to the web site. We could use another volunteer. -|Tom|-
