Harrison, Hope your trip is a safe one for all. Was pulling a sailboat cross country once and had the great experience of replacing wheel bearings enroute. They looked fine before I left San Francisco. Fortunately for us they seized up while at the Grand Canyon as I was pulling out of an overlook

Great idea to use the egroup polling feature. Nice way to flex and test drive the egroup promises. Rich Norris> Rich Norris Mirror Consulting Satellite Beach, Florida (407)779-0531

I really like this suggestion about polling. I just joined the list serve and I must say I feel a bit overwhelmed as does my in-box with all these emails. There must be a better way to get feedback without tying up everyone's email system. Francoise At 14:34 22/06/2000 -0400, you wrote: > > At t

At the risk of delaying a decision further, may I also suggest to Murli that, to get a broader sense of people's opinions on this question, you make use of the polling feature on eGroups? You could set up a poll that asks people a yes/no question about switching (more options if you wish). T

Jay, Yes, I think it's a good idea, but I'm a little confused about the purpose. Maybe it's just that I haven't had a need so much to inform the media, as a need to inform potential participants. I do us openspaceworld.org and tmn.com as references to people interested in open space, so I would f

Hello Jay Press kit is good idea but will one size fit all? Suggest the following be considered: 1. Create a generic press release which can be modified locally and down loaded from a website. Can you capture the essence of OST in one page? 2. Provide press articles by sector: corporate, publ

I also want us to switch to the "egroups" oslist. It feels just like the old oslist (shows up in my inbox, in digest form if I choose) and the advantage is that it is also accessable thru the egroups.com website for anyone who chooses to read it that way. Plus it has superior archiving capacities.
