[free-sklyarov] Activities in New Mexico

[Robert Franklin]

Yes, I was talking to jaraco.  I think the plans for NM are faltering...
partially due to the late date (he's heading out of town at the moment,
my contacts are more limited, etc.) as well as the general confusion
regarding the status of the protest right now.  Are you currently on for
Seattle?

Ah!  Are you talking to Ralph Coombs?  I was trying to convince him to
start something up :-)
