<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your thoughts on this are certainly welcome as it
is all still under development. I really appreciate you r bringing all this
issues to everyone's attention. I think this thread of discussion has

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I checked out this board. I wanted
to check out the Tools, but it turned out I needed a Login Id and then I
couldn't Back out of the page. (<A

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2> I
apparently went somewhere far, far away from where I started, because I
couldn't even find myself in the History. Also, I would like to see more Show
and less Tell. I think that those of us who espouse technology need to use it
so others can see what can be done. Most people do better at
reproduction than creation, especially when working with new things.
