Which I soon realized was just an invitation to procrastinate. What I'm posting today is a start. Readers of previous versions will notice several sections are essentially untouched. Astute readers will notice that I haven't yet included instructions for tying a lark's head knot . Formatting is uneven. Organization will probably change. The book section is weak (ironic but true). As it says in Part I, comments and corrections are welcome. If you wish to comment on specific sections or paragraphs, please include only them, not the whole FAQ.

But I need input from *you* to change that. What about kite flyers in Australia? Isn't there an Association? Clubs in Germany and France? Kitemaking classes? Etc. What English words have baffled you? Would adding some French/German/ other-flavors-of-English terms to the Glossary help? thanks, Anne - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * | * * Anne Rock | Oh Lord, let the words I speak today * * rock@netcom.com | be sweet, for tomorrow I may have to * * Berkeley, CA | eat them. * * | - sign in a Honduran cafe * - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
