Dear Sandy *et al.*,

I remind you of our exchange about a clearer link to our archive. (See
below.)

Today I (twice) added a more obvious link to our front page:
http://lowlands-l.net/

It leads to a page with a link and instruction:
http://lowlands-l.net/archive.php

Regards,

Ron,

I keep meaning to bring up: surely as Lowlands-L is a discussion group,
the archives should be the first thing you find to click on on the site?

When I visit the site, I find that link buried rather deep, considering
its importance. I used to have trouble finding the archives, though I've
got used to the idea that they're not as easy to find as you'd expect.

Thanks, Sandy. Point well taken.

I'll try and see if I can make the link more prominent on our main page,
possibly this weekend.

Happy holidays!
