Rosina's kind offer

[Rosina Lila]

Hi Linda et. al.,
Doesn't one's e-address appear automatically on the messages?
I think it must, since  many messages have been sent to me directly already.
At any rate, mine  is :   Blaroliaaol.com
When the GOCAMINO list was down, some months ago, many subscribers to it
wrote to me directly asking what was happening to the list (I didn't know).  In
response to those messages, and bereft of a list-serv,  I offered to pass on
Camino information that I might learn about directly to those who wrote me those
messages; I did so until the GOCAMINO servlist became operative again.  When
we got the very sad news about the impending demise of the GOCAMINO list, I
offered to continue to pass on information, as I had done before, until a new
list-serv was formed (preferably on the GOCAMINO model).
I am most decidedly not a techie.... far from it.  I do not have, and
absolutely never shall have, a Web site or anything of the sort. My offer was, and
is, a pilgrim-to-pilgrim personal effort of communication in a rather informal
way, and I shall certainly be happy to pass on whatever I learn about the
Camino in such a manner if it becomes necessary.
Most happily, it does appear that a GOCAMINO Jr. list-serv  is being readied,
with the support of the recognized, known, respected and formally organized
"American Pilgrms on the Camino"  group.  I expect that we shall be hearing
from them in this respect very shortly. (That's the group that holds pilgrim
reunions in Santa Barbara).
I heartily concur with Ana Young in that those of us who inhabit the American
Continent may have practical, and different, needs and views of our own when
we contemplate a Camino pilgrimage; hence, an American-based listserv is quite
desirable.   Besides, just as we may learn a little something about our
European fellow pilgrims through their listservs they may learn a little something
about us from ours.  Isn't that what the Camino is , and has always been, all
about?
Hopefully, the new list will be up and running soon. If not, I shall
certainly pass on whatever worthwhile Camino information comes my way.
Warm regards,
Rosina
