As I said in a very close previous message you have many things to use here at RW , World connect, Genconnect , Global search , LANE had those in some of the tag lines , here in an older message Cheska makes a very good example of how to get very wide recognition also . I say rather than be limited to a local CD you should submit to the projects that have the widest circulation and are free. Read the below message - Cheska is also a very well know researcher and list owner of quality and standards . <G> We will wake up the Rogers list and make it productive.
