Regarding when I discovered Steve's books: I discovered Steve's books back in the late eighty's while in college. My favorite is the Phoenix Guards. I discovered the mailing list about the same time that it started, May or June a couple of years ago. I had e-mailed Steve with a question or something and he told me about the mailing list when he replied. John D. Barbato, OD
