I think such a weekly newsletter would also make a fine web page.  I
will donate the space if you can find a good webmaster, like for
instance Bro. Tyler, to set it up, or you can do it yourself.
Alternatively, you could just archive it like we do HF, if Bro. Tyler
*EVER* gets the last bug out of the archiver's end of month logic. :-)

I notice Bro. Basset and Sis. Colleen on the cc list, so your thoughts 
must have run in somewhat the same direction, no?  They both do an
*EXCELLENT* job with web pages, especially Sis. Colleen with both
editorial and artistic talents!
