<VV> RE: Communique article rejections

[Joe West]

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the reply.

I think that the searchable forum at virtualcorvairclub.com is indeed
something that the vast majority of CORSA members would be interested in.
If they don't know about the virtual world... we need to let them know...
one one online resource at a time.

While I do indeed think it is important to discuss all available online
resources in the Communique, I am an expert in only one resource right now,
and I can control only one resource right now;
http:/www.virtualcorvairclub.com

Bryan is an expert in the majordomo... perhaps he may want to write about
virtual vairs... I'm sure others in CORSA have their own sites that they
would like to bring up to everyone... let's discuss them ALL!

So... I'll be happy to take you up on your offer.  You tell me how much
space I can have, and I'll be happy to kick off a new "online" section of
the communique.  I won't write all the articles... but I'll write the first
one and find others who are like minded to write subsequent columns on
online resources.

How much space can I have and where do we go from here?  I think your idea
is absolutely outstanding.

Joe
