- Three years ago (has it been that long?) when this newsgroup was first
- created, I knew next to nothing about arts other than Judo. I'm by no means
- an expert in any art (still), but at least when someone talks about another
- art, I'm know *something* about it. Also, I've considered taking a look
- at other arts to see what Judo lacks and how I can minimize my loses due
- to those lackings.

- I did a little woodworking yesterday and played a bit with the six foot
- pole. It reaffirmed the desire to learn some bo or jodo, but it seems I'm
- pretty far away from anyone who teaches either :-(

- The exclusively Judo contributions are particularly sporadic. A new group
- could have 40 postings one day and none for a week. Doesn't really warrant
- a new group in my opinion.
