Dear Listers: It seems I am experiencing a bit of difficulty. The outline is as follows: In depth demonstration and discussion of: --Mailing lists -- effective query/subject line --Bulletin boards -- effective query/subject line --Gateways --Archives and how to use them more effectively --A brief behind the scenes look at Administration and Volunteering --A sure fire way to eliminate the ad pop-ups from displaying while viewing the bulletin boards. The notes may not be available in advance, but will be available for download later for reference. I will print copies if unable to get them uploaded in time for the meeting. I prefer that the attendees not be bogged down with note taking. I am looking forward to seein you this afternoon.
