- alt.quotations has been created, and in fact, is getting over 50 messages
- a day now. Find it and subscribe to it...

- collecting, trading, music-related buttons, and so on...

- OFF-TOPIC: Also, could you e-mail the addresses of the companies you have
- button catalogues for? I would greatly appreciate it.
