I didn't know about that one. It is very nice. However, I would like to make
a website where any POV-Ray user can submit a description, not just the ones
in the IRTC mailing list. Also, maybe the descriptions could be optionally
more detailed, and as I said, people could write small comments/decriptions
about each other. That might add more personallity to the descriptions.

Does this project have a future you think?

If I recall correctly this link:...

<a href="page2.html#personx">Click here to go to Person X on Page 2</a>

...will link to this section on page2.html:

<a name="personx">Person X</a>

...or something like that...

But maybe I will put each desription on a seperate page.

That was the idea. And if others want to, we can crosslink to other pages
too. (Maybe "The Population of POV-Ray Users", "The List of Ages", etc...)

I'm glad you're interested! I think setting up the site I'm talking about
will take some time (if I'll succeed at all), but if/when I succeed, I will
contact you!

The graphic on the shirt I'm wearing in my picture was created in the
GIMP (Larry Ewing's Tux image).  I don't feel too bad; I'm quite fond of
the GIMP.

  Not I - sorry. Don't have Excel. You and Bob are likely to have more
recent versions of the List than I am, although I may have one pasted
into a text file from an old news server message.
