Just a small correction to something Arthur said:
"The message was a genuine warning from Chris Goodwin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]),
administrator of the Lute
Society of Great Britain (as they now call themselves)."
In fact the Lute Society based in the UK, of which Chris Goodwin is
secretary, is called just that: the Lute Society, plain and simple, and has
no plans to change the name. In fact it is especially appropriate since, as
Chris tells me, more than 50% of members live overseas.
