On this page, we provide a 'running commentary' of the changes both large and small which we make relative to anti-Masonry, Masonry (Freemasonry), and all of the related items on this site. Because sometimes there are changes 'on the fly' (a spelling error, perhaps, or a very minor rewording), not everything is noted. We do try to comment on changes that might be helpful to our guests in finding items of specific interest.

Our current website version is dated April 27, 2008

From our February 10, 2008 update to Present

- Based on a note from Bro. Cory Sigler, we discovered that we had not fully completed an addition we'd begun for the bogus group called the "Esoteric Freemasons". We've done that now. Next week we've got to get organized! <sigh>
- Poor Mr. Zagami Young Kahn Zagami: he's back craving for attention yet again. He exhibits a remarkable inability to differentiate between regular/recognized lodges and phoney-baloney imitations. This absurdity should give you some clue as to how accurate the rest of his claims about world domination etc. are Read more of his whining here.
- Have you been spammed by Knights Templar Quest - knightstemplarquest.com? If not, you don't run a Masonic website or one which mentions the Knights Templars. This site alone has around a hundred e-mail messages as they've scraped every address they could find from the pages here. Give it a rest, folks! Their plan to sell subscriptions to their website but it looks like they've paid more to paint their van than.... We would suggest that before they go on their continued flights of fantasy, they spend far less cash and read "The Rosslyn Hoax" and "The Templar Code for Dummies", reviews of which are right here. They could then learn about the NON-connection with the Masons thereby making all of the breathless hype of Classic Media Group nothing more than a lot of hot air. Perhaps if Mr. Walker was a Mason and had read either/both, he might not have been so.... enthusiastic.
- We've been asked why we haven't kept up more on our book reviews and, frankly, there's no good answer. If someone could just add a couple of days to the week.... That notwithstanding, we've added these with more to come in future updates! Hopefully they will help you make some good decisions in the spending of your reading dollars: Freemasonry: Rituals, Symbols & History of the Secret Society by Mark Stavish (including he and his surrogates' antics on Amazon!), and The Rosslyn Hoax by Robert L. D. Cooper (VERY highly recommended), 101 Things You Didn't Know about the Freemasons by Barb Karg and John K. Young, Ph.D., and (earlier on our blog) Conspiracy Theories and Secret Societies for Dummies by Christopher Hodapp and Alice Von Kannon.
- And the FUNNIEST e-mail arrived from someone claiming to be the Grand Master of the Grand Orient of the United States (which we've 'acronymized' as GOOFUS). This is a fellow who not even two years ago was the Grand Master of the now lost-in-space Grand Lodge of the United States. Ain't it GRAND? We've also added a page about Vulcan Lodge meeting in a library in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. Wear your Dr. Spock ears, folks!
- All this along with our usual collection of tweaks and the addition of a couple of Famous Masons, Anti-Masons, and even some link changes.

From our November 26, 2007 update to Present

- Added more information about the GOOFUS group and updated some comments on our page about women in Freemasonry.
- Included additional information about Leo Zygami who has yet another identity - and more baloney.
- Updated our comments about the Grand Lodge of All England who've done a 180 turn-around on the recognition issue now that we've called attention to their 'status'.
- Updated information about alleged murderer Sonny Rene Stermole.
- Several years ago we wrote of 'The Devil in Kenya'. News reports as we begin this new year tell of the civil war and violence that has erupted there. We've added a short paragraph tying the two together.
- Some time ago also, we'd written about the Spear of Longinus - a query which had appeared in our review of things being searched for on this site. At the time we had noted that we had no idea what this was all about until an individual e-mailed us with a link to a website page. We linked to it but never looked 'behind the curtain'. Now we've added some new material on this subject - although it STILL doesn't relate to Freemasonry in any way.

From our November 12th update to November 26

- Added a page on the conspiracist Leo Zagami a/k/a Leo Young. This one is SO unbelievable - and yet, so many buy right into it.
- Some very expanded information on another of the many bogus groups, the "Esoteric Masons" - also known as 'post office box drop in North Carolina'.
- While we had written about this on our blog, we realized that we never updated our website page about (alleged) murderer Sonny Rene Stermole who was convinced that a neighbor was part of a Masonic conspiracy and simply shot him to death. A tragic story indeed and sadly, not unremarkable amongst the actions of those we have written about on this site.
- Finally - and we know you'll have a hard time believing this one - there have been EVEN MORE developments with the United Grand Lodge of America. They're out and there's now a Grand Orient of the United States of America of (Un)Accepted Freemasons. Who would have imagined that, eh?

From our June 18th update to November 12

- First and foremost: many, many thanks to a new Mason (and new Dad as well!), Bro. Jonathan Horvath, who has taken the time and effort to go through a whole bunch of pages on this site and point out non-functioning or changed links. Particularly with the anti-Masonic and fake Masonry crowd, trying to keep up is quite a chore. Whenever they realize someone has them caught in the headlights, they move quickly to hide their 'dirty deeds'. We certainly appreciate Bro. Horvath's temerity in this! We haven't completed going through his list but we're working on it.
- We've added several graphics to our pages of Famous Freemasons. Here's the problem: we're CONSTANTLY adding names and information based on feedback from readers. When someone STEALS (yes, that's what taking the work of one person and using it as your own is called - and it's also known in legal terms as a copyright violation!) this material and adds it to their website, it quickly becomes out of date and is sometimes even inaccurate (see the next note!)
- Yet more names added to our Famous non-Masons page including Gustave Eiffel and Baruch Spinoza, another darling of the 'fake Freemasons' group. We've received a HUGE printed listing of Masonic members from Bro. Richard Gregory that we'll be adding soon.
- Sadly, we've also added yet another name to our 'Black Sheep' page: that of a British child abuser.
- A particularly interesting new author, anti-Mason and Ripperologist wannabe, Karen Trenouth, is added. She was 'tricked' so it's all the fault of the Masons....
- Youtube is the rage for some and now Masons are taking action to counter some of the more egregious junk that anti-Masons and/or the terminally ignorant have created. Brother Jay Moody has created a great one to deal with the Denver Airport Conspiracy.
- Either James Todd - of VOMIT 'fame' - has decided to give up decades of being a total boor or he's passed to the greater beyond. His website is now only a link-farm. Oh, well. A lot of the rabid anti-Masons from when this site began are now completely missing from the internet scene, forgotten except for our comments on their absurdities. As with most efforts begotten of hatred, bigotry and negativism, they're now forgotten except by our pages. All of their efforts was for naught and few (if any) could legitimately claim that they'd had any success in swaying ANY Mason away from his membership - unless they were lying through their teeth about it. As the saying goes, 'Freemasonry, notwithstanding, still survives!'
- Another anti-Mason we'd profiled in the past has repented, saying it was a childhood indulgence. He now wants us to pretend it never happened and remove him from our site. Unringing bells isn't that easy. Oh, and then there's the on-going saga of rain-barrel obsessed Maurice Kellett, the Samurai Swordsman, who has a web site that should be submitted for a bad design award.
- And say it ain't so: "Marta" - a/k/a a whole lot of other pseudonyms - now deceased? Hmmmm....
- The self-styled Grand Lodge of All England has tried to claim legitimacy based on an e-mail but more and contradictory detail is now available. Read the November update here.
-Trying to keep up with current literature is difficult. We couldn't miss, however, adding a review of the new book by Christopher Hodapp and Alice Von Kannon titled "The Templar Code for Dummies". Don't miss this one!
- We've added a new page addressing the question we're frequently asked: How much does it cost to join? (It also answers the other question: 'How expensive is it to be a Mason?)
- We're embarrassed to say that VERY sporadically we've been blogging. A couple of months ago we began a series of posts under the rubric of "The Old Webmaster" but sadly, other time commitments have kept us from doing more.

From our May 22nd update to June 18

- Some further updated information on the "What's New" page about Scottish Rite Racing just to clarify what we'd written previously.
- We've noticed a couple of new names attending the absurdly-named "Ministry to Masons" conference so we've added them to our anti-Masons list just so they'll get the credit they deserve. As time allows, we'll learn more about these folks and let you know what their stories are.
- It never ceases to amaze me: some people just don't 'get it'! Apparently Mr. Rui Gabirro, creator of his own Grand Lodge, found our May 22nd update and was a tad bit upset about it. What did he do? Why, he wrote yet another potty-mouthed e-mail to me. Why do a few men in the United States and Europe want to support his games? It's amazing....
- WHOOPS! We inadvertently dropped the link to our Blog from the last update. Well, we took it out, decided to start blogging actively again, but never put it back. In any event, we're blogging again now and hope you'll find it of quasi-interest.
- Tried to re-word our 'Before you send me an e-mail' page. The overtly paranoid always seem to think I'm making threats after they've read that. Clueless!
- Added some additional grave headstone pictures to the gallery with many thanks to new online friend Julie Scott.
- There's a new book about to hit the shelves dealing with the strange man from another planet, Malachi York. Information is here.
- Added a few more names to the 'Famous Freemasons' section and added some information about Voltaire who seems to be the darling of a small segment of those blogging about Freemasonry;
- And fixed the usual typos etc. with many thanks to our correspondents!

From our March 12th update to May 22

- As we were rambling through the piles and piles of unread e-mails, we've come across several items sent to us months ago which have only now seen the light of day. We sincerely apologize to those who've written and thank you all for your contributions. Special thanks to Bro. Jeff Armstrong for providing additional information about (NON-Mason) Rev. Billy Graham.
- The one-time, <1 year Grand Secretary of the United Grand Lodge of America has written to tell us that the duties required of him in his "lodge" (the self-created Temple of Regulus with his "Vulcan Lodge" <shaking head>) caused him to step down from his position. Oh, and he also notes that the "lodge" is no longer a part of the UGLA. That, coupled with the metamorphosis and disappearance of the Sirius Lodge website seem to indicate additional dissention in the ranks. And then there's a newly-minted (read: self-styled) "Masonic Historian" sending out press releases just a few months after saying he was giving up Freemasonry.... It's just amazing to see the bizarre claims made with such braggadocio and then watch the reality unfold. Want to join the UGLA? They've even dropped the contact link on their website so you may have missed your big chance.
- Nevertheless, you can also subject yourself to the erratic and sometimes obscene behavior of the "Regular" Grand Lodges making their appearance almost daily on the internet. We've got some more details on the antics of the leadership of the so-called "Regular Grand Lodge of Virginia". Lying? Not a problem: just call the other person a racist and it'll all go your way....
- Updated some comments about the Scottish Rite Racing involvement with pictures and links. You'll want to read this one!
- Began a 2007 entry on the 'marginals' of the alt.freemasonry newsgroup.
- Added a bit more about Sam Moser whose numeric obsession is now reaching frenzied proportions. He really does need sustained help.
- Bilderberger boy Tony Gosling has a 'secret friend' for whom he's fronting a website. You can read about Joe Stirling here.
- Updated information on Ed Brown, whom many now know as a tax protester but who is an attention seeker and equal-opportunity hater.

From our February 11th update to March 12

- We've changed several links away from the freemasonry.org website due to the loss of linked material with their recent 'face lift'. Sorry for the inconvenience.
- Added a few more thoughts to our page titled "Should I Wait?" including the amplification of a comment about D&D we'd made. No offense to the gamers out there, HONEST!
- Although it's not always mentioned, there's rarely an update that we don't add a couple of names to our "Famous Freemasons" listing. A wonderful article in the March, 2007 Smithsonian Magazine about Civil War General George Henry Thomas caused yet another addition.
- Did some more work on our listing of Grand Lodges. It's slow but eventually we'll get there.
- Had a message from a Brother who questioned our use of the comment that a Grand Lodge of the United States was never seriously considered after 1843. That date was incorrect. We'd meant to write 1847. However, he noted that a particular Grand Lodge supported the idea for some time after that. Accordingly, we've changed that to 1840's. That appeared on our page about the self-styled United Grand Lodge of America who, apparently haven't managed to hold onto a Grand Secretary for an entire year. Alas... And then there were (six???).... We also notice that one day they're whining that they're not "expelled" and not long afterwards, they're using that very same term. We've got to check our insurance coverage for internet whiplash if we're going to keep watching this group!
- Added some more information on our What's New page about the Southern (US) Jurisdiction Scottish Rite's involvement with NASCAR racing.
- And we're hoping to get some time back from other pursuits so we can go back to blogging just a little again. For a couple of ex-Masons, it's their only 'real' life it seems. Not here, thankfully.

From our January 19th update to February 11

- Anti-Mason and Anti-Semite Ed Brown and his wife have been convicted of tax fraud. He's vowing that the government will not 'take him alive'. <SIGH>
- Did you know that Bill Schnoebelen has now added yet another title to his resume? Yep, the guy's now saying he was a VAMPIRE! What next, Bill?
- Here today, something else tomorrow: the Rose Croix Cross of Gold Lodge (which used to be a separate organization) is now - wait for it! - SIRIUS Lodge. Are you Serious? Change a website, change the world.... It's so comical! See the story here where we also address the whine about 'expelled' versus 'erased', a distinction without a difference.
- Did you wonder about the NASCAR sponsorship by the Scottish Rite? Check out the information on our 'What's New' page.
- If you stumbled on our page titled "Should I Wait?" and thought it was really fouled up, you were right. The page kinda snuck up on the last update well before it was done. It's soup now: sorry for the confusion. 

From our January 17th update to January 19

No, we're not in the 'update-a-day' mode. When we updated our page about the organization called the Grand Lodge of All England, we thought that their 'Grand Secretary' had made a typing error and we had marked the word 'reponed' as <sic>, assuming he'd meant 'reopened'. We were wrong and the term he used deliberately was, in fact, 'reponed'. A definition has been added for those who might make the same assumption we had. We also corrected a couple of errors on our 'Famous Masons' pages - with thanks to some very alert readers!

From our January 16th update to January 17 (Believe it or not!)

- The "Grand Lodge of All England" has taken exception to things we've written on this site about them, wanting us - apparently - to assure everyone that they're 'regular'. Sorry! We can't do that as regularity is something that's determined by other Grand Lodges, not by an individual. We've changed some of the things on our page about them as they're now howling. We trust this will make them happy.

From our September 17th update to January 16, 2007:

- With the unexpected removal of the lodge locator database at freemasonry.org, we've gone ahead and set up our own page to help you locate Grand Lodges. Most Grand Lodges now provide links to their own lodges so you can 'drill down' for the information you need. We hope you'll find this helpful. Please notify us of any discrepancy being sure to put MASONICINFO in the subject line of your message! We're FAR from finished, having only the US Grand Lodges but we'll get more there for the next update.
- Added an entry on comedian and Mason Michael Richards whose racist rant during a live performance has received an enormous amount of publicity;
- Updated information on several of the 'marginals' for 2006 including the now-supposedly dead 'doctor Marta' and more;
- Because there have been a number of searches done on our site for 'Tony Blair' we figured we'd tell you all about his Masonic membership here. (Oh, and for the terminally clueless who will read that sentence and NOT click on the link, we've placed the information on the Famous NON-Masons page. Does that help you out a bit or do we need to be more specific?) Thanks to Bro. John Karnes for making the suggestion for this inclusion;
- Book Review on The Book of Fate which has a jacket that's hard to miss and more than the ten words that we'd previously written about S. Brent Morris' book Idiot's Guide to Freemasonry. We've also reviewed Chris Hodapp's new book, Solomon's Builders, and we've a 'real' review of Freemasons for Dummies; Because of a groundswell of interest, we'll be adding several more book reviews in the weeks and months to come: there's a LOT of stuff being published now with Masonic references and about Freemasonry.
- We'd never mentioned the page added a couple of updates ago about the 'name of deity' which anti-Masons like to claim is used in the Scottish Rite and, now more recently, the Royal Arch degree.
- And just before publishing this update, an e-mail was received from (supposedly - although not provably as it's a commercial rather than domain address) the "Grand Secretary" of the "Grand Lodge of All England" whining about something ostensibly e-mailed to us that we never received. In light of this, and because we really hadn't spent much time on that page initially, we've gone back and made several changes. They won't be happy because having you know that they're NOT recognized by anyone is an anathema to their growth. As an adjunct, we've also created a page titled "How To Tell" which might help sort out the problems currently arising from blaring internet sites creating an allure.

From our July 4th update to September 17th:

- A new page about the Emblems of Mortality has been added to address the sometimes-asked question about the skull and crossbones emblems;
- Had a nice message a few weeks ago from a Denver Mason who'd seen our page about the Airport there. He provided a very cogent explanation for the 'technopad': would you believe raster Braille?
- Added a few lines of update on various folks like Sam Moser;
- Added some additional information about the various "Grand Lodges" formed under the aegis of the so-called "Regular Grand Lodge of England" along with a brand new page detailing Rui's whining about the exposure he gets on this website. We've also updated our page about the self-styled "United Grand Lodge of America". It's just amazing what these folks will do for attention;
- Got an e-mail message that stated "Something is rotten in Denmark" because we hadn't listed radio personality Alex Jones as an anti-Mason. Problem fixed! Mr. Jones doesn't have as much recognition in my world as in that of the anonymous e-mailer, obviously!
- It's really amazing some of the folks we hear from directly as a result of this site. This time, it's "Patient A" (who provided a name and phone number for verification) relative to the revocation of medical license for one of the folks closely attached to Neil Brick who claims that there's such a thing as Masonic Satanic Ritual Abuse. Check at the bottom of this page for the update.
- A cult leader in Japan has been sentenced to death as a result of his actions in a subway attack with sarin gas in Tokyo in 1996 that killed 12 and injured about 5,500 - all because he thought that the Masons might attack Japan.

From our June 11th update to July 4th:

- Updated information on the National Masonic Foundation for Children - a truly great program!
- Added a link to our new Blog on the home page;
- Updated some wording and added a 'teaser' to our section about 'Director' David Bay;
- Updated several links thanks to our alert readers!
- Added a nice poem for those thinking about becoming Masons.

From our May 23rd update to June 11th:

- Good grief! Somehow our navigation got fouled up on the last upload. I just LOVE the way this thing works sometimes.... <SIGH> Sorry for the confusion!

From our May 23rd update to June 4th:

- Added some additional information on a couple of anti-Masons while fixing some awkward wording that was on those pages;
- Put a couple of more comments about self-claimed apparent record-holder for the leg press, Rev. Pat Robertson;
- Just as our last update had been wrapped up, we found a truly fantastic essay about perceived lack of fulfillment from Freemasonry vis-a-vis the proponent of the so-called Grand Lodge of America. You'll surely want to read it.
- Included a couple of thoughts deriving from e-mails we receive from supporters of the apparently quite confused Mr. Schnoebelen.
- Received some very interesting information about yet another 'credential', this time concerning Dr. Cathy Burns.
- Added some very curious information about the so-called Regular Grand Lodge of England.
- Added another like on The DaVinci Code page. We suspect there'll be lots more in time to come.

From our February 21st update to May 23rd:

- Updated our page on anti-Mason Rev. Pat Robertson adding his most recent 'statements' about assassination and more;
- In realizing that I don't often remember when I'm supposed to use "which" or "that", made a bunch of little changes to several pages;
- Added the obligatory review on The DaVinci Code not because we had too very much to say about it but because there is a bit of a connection in this NOVEL to Freemasonry. Initial reviews of the movie sure don't seem to live up to the hype, however;
- Added a page about the five month old Grand Lodge of America, yet another attempt by some to 'have it their way';
- Another anti-Mason has appeared asking to be added to our site, apparently hoping for some credibility. Heck, a six year old could do better than THAT!

From our February 19th update to February 21st:

One change occasionally motivates a second one close on its heels as we realize omissions and problems we thought were already fixed, so here we go again!
- Sometimes we add things to our site and then forget to mention them here. One item we were pleased to add included pages that involve issues of sharing information with our wives along with the removal of wedding rings etc. during the 'Rite of Destitution'. We trust you'll find these interesting;
- Made some very slight changes to our page about the so-called Ex-Masons for Jesus to clarify the amount of time one FORMER Ex-Mason for Jesus has been attempting to get the group to remove his 'testimony' now that he's returned to Masonic membership;
- Added a long-overdue book review about a MUST READ work: The Plot;
- Made a couple of minor changes to our page about Women and Freemasonry (we'd used the word 'debate' when we probably should have chosen the word 'discussion');
- Added a note about the upheld conviction of Malachi York who'll likely be spending the rest of his life in jail;
- Added the information about the sentencing of Brad Bleidt, one of Freemasonry's 'black sheep';
- Also added just a few additional words about "Masonic Authority" on our page about the powers of the Master.

From our January 29th update to February 19th:

- When an anonymous reader called our attention to a comment about a reference we'd made to a bizarre claim of Roger "El Gato" Bullock, s/he asked, "Do you remember Viet Nam?" Roger had written that "Occultists were given permission to encircle the Pentagon in order to levitate it." In fact, we DO remember Vietnam - and because of that, don't recall much about events in the US in 1967 when HIPPIES (NOT 'occultists") staged a protest (they were not 'given permission' as Roger claimed) and tried to levitate the Pentagon. We've adjusted our commentary accordingly.
- We've also received a message from a person who remains listed on the "Ex-Masons For Jesus" website of Duane Washum. He indicates that he was mislead by others and about a year ago rejoined the Lodge.
- A reader wrote to say that the quote at the start of the page on the Illuminati taken from the Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia was wrong. <Tongue in cheek> Microsoft wrong? Can you imagine? </remove tongue from cheek>. We've added a note to fix that matter right here.

From our November 12, 2005 update to January 29, 2006:

- Debunked the rumor which sometimes surfaces in Usenet newsgroups that actor Leonardo DiCaprio is a Freemason;
- Added the Shriner's Creed to our page about the Red Fez;
- Included a new page addressing the concern about wives knowing ritual and removal of wedding rings;
- Did a status update on Sam Moser whose problems just seem to multiply - all the fault of the Freemasons;

From our September 3, 2005 update to November 12, 2005:

- A non-Mason reader from the UK pointed out to us that placing former US President Clinton on our 'infamous non-Masons' page along with killers etc. was really inappropriate. He's right - and we've removed him from there leaving him on our 'famous non-Masons' page.
- Within a day or so of an update on our page to the so-called 'Regular Grand Lodge of England', links to pages which show some of their machinations in a less-than-flattering way are gone. Why? Well, we've added a bit more on them here that may explain.
- In addition to the 'fake Masonry' con games, there are also 'fake Illuminati' con games too. World domination for sale, folks - along with lies from Internet trolls. Read about it here.
- Added a couple of names to our anti-Masons list and also added some more information in our Book Review section.

From our August 27, 2005 update to September 3rd:

- Added information about Masonic disaster relief and provided a link for donations to be made for the Katrina disaster;
- Updated information about the Knights Templar Eye Foundation thanks to Bo. Bill Orr of Texas;
- Added some extraordinary cemetery pictures to our page here; and several months ago we added a page about a VERY unique gravestone in Scotland which we never noted in this section. It's fascinating: take a look here.
- Elaborated a bit about the 'eye in the pyramid' including some very basic information for the truly clueless.... <sigh>
- Greatly expanded our discussion of the so-called "Regular Grand Lodge of England";
- Added - yet again <sigh> - some information about Daryl Carstensen who has returned to haunt the alt.freemasonry newsgroup
- Included some additional information on our page about Famous Non-Masons which shows that it's not just now that folks want to make such associations.
- Added just a single additional example of Masonic educational scholarships to this page. There are thousands of such programs out there and an entire website could be devoted just to them.

From our August 9, 2005 update to August 27th:

- "Plutonium" - now apparently preferring to be known as "Filmnoir" - has written to us our characterization of him here. We've made some changes....
- We've apparently upset someone with our comments about the so-called "Regular Grand Lodge of England" so we've added a couple of additional comments about that on our page here.
- Added a couple of additional comments on our page about women and Freemasonry.

From our January 8, 2005 update to August 9th:

- Seven months without an update! Where does the time go? Sometimes getting information for this site is more like playing "Whack-A-Mole" than doing Masonic research. The minute one objection is addressed, some anti-Mason will arrive on the scene with yet another claim to be tracked down. When it's revealed that their assertions are nothing but make-believe, they then resort to interpretations even the most gullible would find difficult to accept. Nevertheless, we've continued to try and define the objections (and objectors) in an objective way. It just gets more difficult every day in this 'whack-a-mole' world! (Want to play whack-a-mole online yourself? Go here! Warning: you'll need Flash and there will be pop-up ads.... )
- Added just a few lines on our page about Genealogy;
- Added a page about bogus group: the self-styled "Regular Grand Lodge of England";
- Updated the Yahoo groups address for those with an interest in esoteric matters;
- Tried (and likely failed) to add all of the small 'fixes' and fix all of the small typos that diligent readers have found. Sadly, there are many too many to mention. <SIGH> Nevertheless, we appreciate your bringing these to our attention and if we missed something, please do remind us!
- We've not had the opportunity to follow-up on a couple of sections on this site that we'd hoped to have updated. Also, we've gotten a couple of e-mails from folks whose names and/or organizations have been noted here. Strangely, though, they don't really seem to want to share much other than their displeasure at being 'seen'. We'll keep you posted....
- Made the switch (twice actually) to FrontPage2003. We were VERY unhappy with the coding games that FP2002 played and returned to FP200. This time, though, we've 'bitten the bullet' and are in it all the way. If this site looks badly due to formatting changes in certain places, PLEASE let us know specifically where it's happening and what's going on. There's LOTS of extraneous code being added these days, all to enhance IE viewers' experience while diminishing others, we suspect.
_ And no, Nicholas Cage is NOT a Mason. It's a MOVIE, folks! Sean Connery wasn't a Mason either and, much to everyone's surprise no doubt, there really hasn't been an interplanetary spaceship capable of going into warp drive named Enterprise built yet. We've got a page on Famous non-Masons but hoped we wouldn't have to add a whole list of names there. Maybe we will....
- We've also got a number of book reviews and some more gravestone pictures ready but just haven't had a chance to get them on. They'll be added shortly. Thanks to contributors!
Generally, though, we've been busy with other Masonic endeavors. Since first becoming involved in 'online Masonry', we've watched the inevitable: start doing something online because you've got the time and inclination and as sure as heck, you'll get 'sucked into' doing something else Masonic in real life. It's exciting - and VERY fulfilling!

From our November 28, 2004 update to January 8, 2005:

- In reviewing our page on the so-called "Modern Rite of Memphis", we realized that we'd left out on of the several groups that were part of this confusing 'package' but in an attempt to ensure a clear presentation, we've removed our content hoping for clarification of the many questions which arose;
- Added information about the sentencing of the Mason involved in the tragic NY Shooting;
- Included information on a 'black sheep', Mason Brad Bleidt, who has admitted multiple financial improprieties. The story is not a pretty one and Bleidt stole from Masons as well!
- Fixed a couple of broken links and mistyped links - with THANKS to those who'd noted them;
- Added a couple of "Famous Freemasons" and updated information about others.

From our November 25/26 updates to November 28, 2004:

Just a word of explanation: recently a Usenet poster indicated that he'd like this site to be updated more often. Another suggested that some of the material about certain online antis is a bit dated. In an attempt to be responsive, we're going to attempt to address both of these issues. We'll keep you posted here as to what's being changed as we go along. Truthfully, we may not be able to keep up a more frequent update schedule (this website is, after all, the work of one person who really does have some other things to do in life!) but we'll give it a try.
- Added some comments on our page about Satanism;
- Con artist is Mason who scammed his own lodge as well. The story is here;
- Updated our page on the recently released movie National Treasure;
- Added an EXCELLENT book review by V.W. Bro. David Julian on Ron Rhodes' book "Reasoning from the Scriptures with Masons"; 

From our October 31st update to November 25/26, 2004:

We've made a change on this page unrelated to subject topic and done as a test.
We've also abbreviated our page on the now apparently defunct "Modern Rite of Memphis". That's all folks...

From our October 25th update to October 31, 2004:

Each time we do an update, we invariably leave out things that we'd done but had set aside. Here is one that should have been included before.
- Added a page on the the current crop of strange posters on the alt.freemasonry usenet newsgroup;
- In addition, changed an erroneous reference (referring to 'the Colonies' as the "United States") on our page about the movie "National Treasure" thanks to the sharp eye of our friend and Brother Åke Eldberg - and he's not even an American! We're embarrassed....
