Dear Thomas,
	As I described in the posting, I was trying to subscribe to a
	private calendar using the public Google URL. There used to be
	two subscription URL's, a public and a private URL. I don't
	remember the specifics because I moved to Funambol to sync my
	calendars. But it was working when I set it up. I remember
	having to pay close attention so I got the right URL. The URL I
	used was an ical URL.
