Hi Randy,

I haven't been posting the Comm-Org comments on my website unless they 
give links, as I assume our conversations at Comm-Org are internal.  But 
there's been some great ones.  Would you ask anyone willing to have 
their posts (other than links which have already been noted)  included 
in my archive to send it to me with their permission to post on my site?
