First of all, many, many people have told me that the Daily Report that Dave posts is very valuable. Yes, it is confined to the U.S. I wish that we had something comparable for Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. Many people here are non-economists. My original vision for pen-l would have been more economic in nature, and our economics would have had more direct political content. I have come to appreciate the contributions of non-economists to the list more and more over time. I wish that we would hear from more of the lurkers.

Keep up the good work. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
