Dr. D have you been able to establish contact with the Mandaeans here in Central Texas? I tried to friend some folks on facebook but they must be clanish there too. I have received training in using video equipment at our community cable access company and have made a couple of short videos. So I if could, I would like to make a short documentary about the M folks here. Counterintuitive I know given their proclivity for keeping to themselves but I think viewers of ChannelAustin would respect their privacy while assisting them in practical ways.
It's an idea.
