Well, then you can forget 'The Red Circle', since it was posted in January.
You're right about the Criterion group. It will be 10 months old on 06 August.
Astraweb @ $11(US)/mo can still get all of the posts here. (The first 3 weeks or
so fell off this group because it had not yet reached 'critical mass', but I
x-posted everything to a.b.dvd back then.
You can peruse it all here: <http://tiny.cc/Isis55423
