Hi Friends
The Secretary of Tourism in Tamaulipas, want's to know if you have interest
to visit Gomez FarÃas in December 2014 or January 2015 to explore caves.
They ask me if I will create a Congress like EspeleoCoahuila but in
Tamaulipas... "EspeleoTamaulipas" , they said can give you a security all
the way to have a great time in caves.
I have to make a researching with you, if you could be come. Please let me

Comcast has bounced me off. Since I no longer get posts from Texas Cavers, I am
posting this in the blind. Could the administrator contact me off list and
advise if I have done the correct thing to get restablished?
dirt...@comcast.net
I am sure others have been caught by this.
It also affected the SWR Caver.Net remailer.

A couple of the big email sites (hotmail, aol, comcast) have begun to get a
little more strict on who they accept mail from, and unfortunately today, the
server that sends you the caver.net lists found itself whacked by their checks.
I've made some updates that should resolve things, and will be monitoring the
situation in case it doesn't. So don't panic if you receive an email suggesting
your subscription is disabled!

I went in and reinstated everyone who had been disabled, I can not
however re subscribe anyone who was automatically unsubscribed.
I am assuming that I was not yet unsubscribed automatically from SWR, but it
appears that I was from Texas Cavers. I will wait to see if I get more posts
from SWR and will go back in and try to re-subscribe to Texas cavers.

Just using this forum to have some fun....
Having just been out to a small cave on the BCI Bracken property that had
numerous pulsating mats of Harvestmen. You know the kind, where big mats of
them would peel off the walls and cover the cavers in the small entrance.
I believe Ellie made a short video of same recently.
It made me question if the proper name for a group of Spiders...Cluster or
Clutter is appropriate in this case.
Same goes for a group of Crickets = Orchestra
Cave crickets are pretty quite.
What say all of you.
Could we come up with some more appropriate and colorful 'Group' names for
our beloved cave creatures.
I'll start
A Pulse Harvestmen
A Dragoon of Cave Crickets - they remind me of mounted infantry
Other insects or names????

To add to the fun, Wikipedia lists the following group
nouns:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns_in_EnglishSome of
my personal faves:a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens and a stare of
raccoons.I'd like to nominate the following for harvestmen:a pillow of
harvestmen.Louise
