     rick;

     i'm still playing catch up from the weekend, but wanted to
     make a point about bylines in newspapers. i've had a few
     shots appear in the local (san francisco) papers, but they
     do not run my byline. (_forget_ money!) i was always told it
     was a union thing.
     anybody know ?

     best
