Dear Stan,

I have been the moderator of DJML for some time now.  Can't remember when I
took over but seems as if it has been maybe 8 or 9 years.  I am sorry that
you did not get an answer to your query.  I suspect that my old address was 
listed on the DJML web site.

The Asst. DJML Moderator, Dave Haupt, handles the Internet/Web work, I'm
just the front guy, Jazz Cop and hopefully peace-keeper.

We'll ask Dave about the location of members but I am pretty sure that we
don't have that information.

I am writing an article for the American Rag
about DJML and have been listing countries from the current thread.  So far
I have:

Australia, Brazil, England, France, Germany,
Italy, Ireland, New Zeeland, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, 
Switzerland and
of course the United States.

While I am at it, anyone reading this post, if you don't see your country 
listed, please drop me a note so I can add it before the article goes to the 
AM Rag.

Best,
