        The first official (but really the second) meeting of Austin Public Net
and interested parties will be held on Wednesday, January 20th, 1993, at the
CAD Framework Initiative, 4030 West Braker Lane, Stonelake Bldg. 5, 2nd floor,
in Austin.  The board of directors will meet from 6:30 to 7 or so, with the
public meeting immediately afterwards.
        CFI is, quoting from somebody who should know, "the building directly
across the street from the MCC sign, on Braker Lane between MoPac & 183."
        Austin Public Net is a project intended to bring the resources of the
networked world to Austin, and vice versa.  We, its board of directors, hope
to provide low or no cost Internet access to all who wish it, and to use it as
a tool for intellectual and personal growth and achievement.  The project is
discussed on the Usenet newsgroup austin.public-net.
        Please bring your interest and imagination.  See you there!

It depends on your definition of "lower atmosphere".  The convection
currents inside of thunderstorms are extremely strong.  It doesn't take
very many seconds to go from "lower atmosphere" to "upper atmosphere"
inside of a thunderhead.

But that's beside the point.  You have yet to explain how ground level
produced CCl2F2 manages to make it from sealevel to the ozone layer, but
a much smaller and lighter O3 doesn't.  I mean, explain how a gas with a
molecular weight of 121 is going to rise to these incredible altitudes
when the molecular weight of most everything else around it is 28 to 32.
Then explain why this ground level ozone, which is less than half the
density, doesn't manage to pull the same stunt.

Remember that gas density is almost directly proportional to molecular
weight.  Remember that lighter stuff rises while denser stuff falls.  Try
hard not to break any laws of nature ...

If you insist on repeating the lie about automobile produced ozone, I'll
be forced to explain trees, the Great Smokey Moutains, and a few other
things you might not want to read about.

Call your nearest SCUBA diving shop and offer to donate them.  I'm sure
that they might be interested since things like toilets make great
habitat for fish.  Besides, toilets are fun to stare at when you're 100'

How about Atlas Shrugged (my favorite)? :-).  The selection at HEB

WANT the abridged version of Les Miserables). They don't have many
classics, but Steven King seems to be very popular (if you like that

Last I heard CFCs floated up there and were catylized by the increased
radiation from the sun.  Humid air (such as that carrying any chlorine
in seawater) is "heavy" compared to the dry air that one finds at high
altitude and would not be light enough to make the trip up to the
stratosphere. 

While I would not completely discount the possiblity that sea water could
possibly cause this sort of reaction with ozone without more info, I cannot
see how the ozone problems can be caused by any natural process.  There have
been thunderstorms and seawater for millions of years on this planet.  Any
part of the natural order of this planet (like ozone and the shield it
provides regarding solar radiation) could not be detrimentally affected so
significantly by any other part of the natural order.  If sea water or
thunderstorms or any other "natural" process were responsible for such
a depletion of the ozone then life on this mudball would have fried a
long, long time ago.

I have yet to see a reasonable explanation for the ozone problems that
did not involve something created or caused by people.
