GenWeb and it's mailing list. Starting tomorrow on this mail list, I'm gonna see how "Wisconsin-savvy" you all are. I'll be posting one question everyday to see if anyone knows the answer (the answer will be posted the following day). I'm hoping this will spark some conversation here. I'd like to hear your comments. I will also be announcing some BIG NEWS tomorrow concerning the GenWeb pages. Hope to see you all here tomorrow for the news! :~) -- Nance
