   I tried sending you an email today and   
   it bounced with the error message that   
   said your email box was FULL! I hope you're   
   not being targeted by spam. If that's the   
   case, try asking your server for their   
   spam blocking option, if you haven't already   
   done so. Zianet uses "Spam Assassin" and it's   
   been highly effective - so far - in blocking   
   fully 90 percent of spam directed at me. The   
   spam is re-directed to a separate "spam mailbox"   
   on the server where I can access it and choose   
   to delete it or not - and if not, they do it   
   for me automatically after some length of time.   
      
   >Sorry about that.   
      
   No need for apology, since it could have been   
   a typo on your part. At least it wasn't   
   spelled Ft. Summer - which is the most common   
   spelling error.   
      
   >"The Incredible Elfego Baca".   
      
   I believe I've also mentioned it a time or two in   
   this forum. And the other "incredible" read if   
   you have a further interest is the first volume   
   of territorial NM governor Otero's biography, dealing   
   with his early life in the wildest and wooliest   
   town of the old west, Las Vegas, NEW MEXICO:   
      
   Life on the Frontier, by Miquel Otero   
      
   His bio, as I recall, speaks of Elfego, and   
   of Otero's personal dealings with The Kid and   
   others of that era. Subsequent volumes of Otero's   
   biography I have not read because they deal with   
   his life as a politician and all the wheeling   
   and dealing of his administration.

   Another wonderous development of late is the new   
   online access to my local library's collection.   
      
   http://www.youseemore.com/RuidosoPL/   
      
   So I've looked and guess what - they have a   
   copy of "Interwoven" which I will try and check   
   out next visit there. I drew a blank on most of   
   the other titles you gave me, although inter-library   
   loaning is an option. I'll decide if I have any   
   further interest after reading Interwoven.
