Dear Peter,    (01)

I've missed something here. Looking at these messages there is clearly
at least one other email exploder set up for the Ontolgoy Summit Work.    (02)

Could you provide a list of these for those that wish to sign up
but have missed any earlier announcements?    (03)


Regards    (04)
