You win the prize for guessing correctly, but of course you shouldn't have
to guess, this has been corrected in the introductory message.  Sorry.

See my response to the previous posting.

Hopefully this list will provide a means to learn more about cob, as well
as a forum for new ideas.  I hope (as time permits) to write up some
basic instructions on making cob which should help some (making cob is 
simple, but explaining some of it is not).  In addition, I believe that 
Cob Cottage Company has been approached to write a book on the subject, 
though I am not sure of its current status.
