   Supernovae are usually our occasional and transient visitors.  This year
is particularly rich in bright supernovae (quite fortunate to supernova
astronomers), and may be a momerable in the emerging tantalizing evidence
between intriguing GRBs and SNe -- how exciting, isn't it?

   Usually vairiable star observers report usual variable stars (including
rare dward nova outbursts) and SNe together.  A split list is rather against
the convension of general variable star observers.
